Well the globalist scumbags succeeded in France where they thankfully failed in the attack on Trump.
France pulls off the ‘Trump plot’ and jails popular right-wing leader Marine Le Pen…
revolver.news
So Marine Le Pen is sentenced to
– “Ineligbility” (unable to run for elected office) for 5 years with “provisory execution” (meaning the sentence must be served even during appeal–inexplicable, the judge only said “it appears necessary” to impose provisory execution)
– 100 000 euro fine
– 4 years imprisonment, with the first two years to be served under house arrest and the remainder suspended
Just pure banana republic stuff.
Why 2 years of house arrest? Is there a risk she might steal a car? The only plausible explanation is that it is to prevent her campaigning for whoever is the RN’s candidate in the next elections.
To be clear, Marine Le Pen is not even accused of personally profiting from anything. The charge is that some of her aides in the European Parliament also worked for the party and not just on parliamentary work. This was a common practice for a long time and several other parties stand accused of doing the same, including Modem (a centrist party whose leader is currently prime minister of France) and LFI (biggest far-left party). The “embezzlement” charge is the idea that if parliamentary aides do non-parliamentary work their salary is being “embezzled”–everyone can make up their mind as to what this means.
They could have fined her for improper use of parliamentary funds. That would have been defensible. Ineligibility and house arrest are inexplicable except as pure politics.
Just to be clear, every day criminals who steal, rob, attack get suspended sentences from French judges.
