Okay, I'm not that familiar with French politics and French first names sometimes fool me.

This may actually help RN, as they will play on 'being the victim' of the courts 'democracy destroyed' etc......

The picture didn't tip you off?
Or...did you comment before even bothering to look at the article?

Oh, French Election. I thought this was about the Gene Hackman (may he R.I.P.) and Roy Scheider movie.

The usual suspects are coming out with the usual bollocks.Well it doesn't look like MLP will be running in 2027
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen barred from running for public office for five years
Le Pen's ban - after being found guilty of embezzling EU funds - means she would not be able to run in the 2027 presidential election.www.bbc.co.uk
Musk, a close adviser to the US president, said: “When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world.” He added: “This will backfire, like the legal attacks against President Trump.”
Cry baby fascists want to override the law when a verdict doesn't suit them, inventing a 'far left' conspiracy. Who knew?
And when was it that Le Pen's victors can't win? She's the one who can't win. She hasn't won and won't win.
Up is down in Trump/musk world.

Exactly, straight out of the Trump phrase book.
Fortunately in the civilised world we recognise that when politicians do crimes they should be held accountable

More like George Galloway really. Totally odious.Someone of sky described Melenchon as Corbyn on steroids, maybe I was kind with not ideal
Less nightmareish ha
It's a pattern in quite a few countries now, voting to keep something out rather than actually voting for something

It's funny how much media coverage Farage gets, yet they've all forgotten his financial crimes as an MEP.
This thing about the far left running the show reminds me of the bullshit about the Jewish conspiracy. As a far left Jew I'm still waiting for my invite to the high tables.

All that talk of the destruction of French democracy…it seems a culprit has been identified
