Breitbart: A Paris court ruled Monday that National Rally leader Marine Le Pen will be ineligible to run for public office for five years, likely including in the upcoming presidential race, after being found guilty of embezzlement of European Union funds.
A “political death sentence” has been handed out to three-time presidential candidate and current frontrunner in the race to replace President Emmanuel Macron in 2027, Marine Le Pen.
The Paris court found that Le Pen, along with eight other National Rally Members of the European Parliament, had embezzled 2.9 million euros in funds intended for parliamentary assistants for the party in Strasbourg on political operations in France. The court’s president found Le Pen personally guilty of embezzling 474,000 euros, Le Monde reported.
Le Figaro reports that she was sentenced to four years imprisonment, which will likely be served on probation with an electronic tag rather than in jail, a fine of 100,000 euros, and five years of ineligibility from running for public office.
Without waiting to hear the details of her sentence, Le Pen stormed out of the courtroom “visibly exasperated” and returned to her National Rally party headquarters in Paris. more
Europe is no stranger to fascism. Hsre we go again.
The citizens need to bring back the guillotine. Bastille Day is coming up…time for a re-do.
2.9 million euros? That’s like 8 bucks.
How many opposition pols have now been banned from running workdwide? They tried to prevent Trump. They hamstrung Bolsonaro. They cancelled elections and overturned results in Europe. Our dear democracy-loving friend Ukraine banned opposition, and cancelled elections.
Seems like a pattern.
Seems like there is a new “pandemic” breaking out worldwide. Fortunately, the US has avoided it…so far…
How many leftist politicians have been banned?
Also on Breitbart. Vance was right. Europe’s biggest threat comes from within. Also I read an editorial from a conservative from the UK begging for the military to take over before it was to late. Currently their only option left. Europe is toast.

Socialist/Marxist/Communist dictator wannabees don’t like any competition. They don’t like the idea of putting God, Jesus Christ and certainly not a competent Capitalist before them!
What has been done to LePen is the same thing the criminal communist left here tried to do to Trump….
I know for a fact there a couple 100 thousand pissed off Medieval French Knights spinning in their graves at what France has become. A small contingent of said men would clean out the streets and Vichey in short order.
Does France allow write-in voting?
Even if LePen isn’t allowed to win, or sit in office, it might just send a message.
I wonder how TPTB would feel about large sections of the country “quiet quitting”?
It’s not too late to sign on as a mercenary for Yookraine!
Fight for democracy! Fight for free speech! (bwa ha)
Die for European values !!!!!
(they tried to assasinate Fiso, they overturned elections in Ukraine first, then recently Georgia, Romania… thank God for Urban in Hungary who slows their roll a bit)
