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…



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.

Just to break down the French charges against Marine Le Pen and other members of her party—the courts allege that she “embezzled” funds by using EU money intended for the EU-wing of National Rally on their national (French) wing.

They’re supposed to be separate, but the overlap is basically impossible to avoid and every single European party, including liberal and leftist parties does this.

The fact that they’re going after Le Pen for this is lawfare, plain and simple. The system is being weaponized to go after conservatives and populists over the slightest infraction that the courts would otherwise turn a blind eye to.

Marine Le Pen is by far the most popular leader in France and her party has more public support than all of the others, individually. The EU couldn’t beat her in the polls so they used the courts to take her down.
 
The leftwards are Communists at heart.



I find it notable that the Left/MSM seem very uninterested in Marine Le Pen being jailed and barred from office, as a top contender for France’s 2027 presidential election.

Meanwhile, the same Left/MSM had wall-to-wall 24/7 coverage about Navalny, and cried that Putin was a dictator. They worshiped Navalny for weeks, had a public NATO meeting already organized with his wife and made the entire thing into a massive spectacle, despite Navalny polling at less than 2%, and getting caught working with NATO intelligence assets…

If the Left/MSM actually cared about Democracy, they would be up in arms about Le Pen, but they are not. They only care about “Democracy” when it benefits them. It’s all theater. They are willing to jail political opposition when it’s in their favor.

This narrative that NATO are these righteous defenders of democracy is just an outright lie. France just proved it again today.

How can NATO claim Putin is a dictator that must be stopped, when NATO countries do far worse?

“Democracy” is an illusion.
