This really highlights how far we have come in the US that Trump is able to do what he's doing right now. Pray for France, and the rest of Europe along with Canada, Australia and pretty much the rest of the world that they may know freedom again soon.

Seems like a completely out of line charge to prevent her from running. Typical communist fashion to go after political rivals while their side gets not a single investigation lawsuit against them. Sounds an awful lot like France is no longer a democracy who arrests their political opponents.

If we fail here then there is nowhere in the world where we can go to escape tyranny

GOOD TRY!! It didn,t work for Trump. HAIL the next French President.

"Misappropriation of public funds"

Yes I'm sure NO other politician in the EU (or US) is guilty of that

Q&A with Grok.
Q: how strong was the case against Marine Le pen? any chance this was a corrupt justice system weaponized against a threat to the status quo?

Grok: The case against Marine Le Pen, which concluded with her conviction on March 31, 2025, centered on allegations of embezzling European Union funds between 2004 and 2016. The prosecution accused Le Pen and her Rassemblement National (RN) party of misusing funds intended for parliamentary assistants at the European Parliament, diverting them instead to pay party staff in France. The strength of the case can be assessed by looking at the evidence presented, the legal process, and the outcome, while the question of whether the justice system was weaponized requires examining the context and potential biases. The prosecution's case relied on several key pieces of evidence. They pointed to a "systematic" scheme, alleging that RN treated the European Parliament as a financial resource to offset party costs. Specific examples included assistants who appeared to have little to no connection to EU parliamentary work—like one who asked to be introduced to the MEP they supposedly worked for months after starting, or another who could only produce minimal proof of work, such as a single text message. Documents, such as a 2014 letter from the party’s former treasurer to Le Pen stating they could only survive financially "thanks to the European Parliament," were cited as damning. The European Parliament estimated the misappropriated funds at €6.8 million, later adjusted to €4.5 million by prosecutors, with Le Pen personally ordered to repay €340,000 (which she refused, leading to deductions from her MEP allowance). The sheer scale—46 contracts under scrutiny—and duration of the alleged misconduct (over a decade) bolstered the prosecution’s argument of an organized effort, not isolated errors. Le Pen’s defense countered that the accusations misunderstood the fluid roles of political assistants, arguing that their work legitimately overlapped with party activities. They claimed this was a common practice across parties, not unique to RN, and that the EU’s narrow definition of an assistant’s role didn’t align with political realities. However, the court, led by Judge Bénédicte de Perthuis, rejected this, ruling that Le Pen was "at the heart" of a deliberate embezzlement scheme, not mere administrative oversight. The guilty verdict, a four-year prison sentence (two years suspended, two under home detention), a €100,000 fine, and a five-year ban from public office suggest the court found the evidence compelling enough to convict not just Le Pen but also eight other former EU lawmakers and 12 assistants. Was this a weaponized justice system targeting a political threat? Le Pen and RN framed it as such, calling it a "political death" plot by an elite hostile to their anti-establishment stance. The timing—barring her from the 2027 presidential race, where she was a frontrunner—fuels this narrative, as does the immediate ineligibility ruling, rare in French law but enabled by 2016 anti-corruption reforms. Critics, including RN’s Jordan Bardella and allies like Italy’s Matteo Salvini, echoed this, decrying judicial overreach. Even some non-RN figures, like Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin, found the ban "shocking," hinting at unease with judges shaping electoral outcomes. The prosecution’s rhetoric—calling the acts "unprecedented" and damaging to "democratic rules"—could be seen as politically charged, especially given RN’s Euroskepticism and Le Pen’s past attacks on the judiciary as lax or biased. Yet, the case wasn’t baseless. It began in 2015 with a European Parliament referral, not a French political vendetta, and spanned years of investigation by anti-corruption bodies. Similar cases have hit other parties—like the MoDem, fined €300,000 for analogous misconduct—though Le Pen’s drew harsher penalties, possibly reflecting its scale. France’s judiciary, while not immune to influence, operates with significant independence, and the trial’s nine-week duration and public nature suggest procedural rigor. Still, the lack of Le Pen personally pocketing funds (unlike typical corruption) and the focus on party financing could imply a selective emphasis on RN’s practices, especially given its rising challenge to Macron’s centrism. In sum, the case against Le Pen appears strong on evidence—documents, testimonies, and financial trails convinced the court of systematic wrongdoing. But the severity of the punishment and its political timing leave room for skepticism about motives. Without definitive proof of judicial corruption (e.g., tampered evidence or explicit orders), it’s plausible this was a legitimate prosecution of real offenses, yet one conveniently aligned with sidelining a disruptive figure. The truth likely lies in a gray area: a solid legal basis amplified by a system sensitive to maintaining the status quo. Le Pen’s appeal, which could drag into 2026 or beyond, may clarify this further—or deepen the controversy.

So, did she actually do something illegal, or is this fabricated?

“Our democracy “ at work.

Sadly for EUrocrats this probably either ends for them under a scimitar or a guillotine.

I look at Europe and see that the Globalist are trying to take over the governance and finance while the Muslim world has definite inroads to take over the social systems. I have several Muslim friends that I have a deep respect for, so I have resisted pointing at the Muslim community for the woes of Europe. But I am forced to see the results of the immigration policies of the EU and cannot help but wonder who is truly behind the EU as it does not seem to benefit the original population of Europe on any level and definitely seems to benefit the Muslim populations. Who else benefits from the the dodo birds that have invaded the nest to push out the original nestlings? Is it all just part of the globalist Georgia guidestones agenda? is it the infinitely wealthy Saudis making good on the old promise to infiltrate the infidel world and castrate it? is it Chinese 6th level warfare? is it reptilians pushing out the mammalian dwellers? Is it fucking aliens?

All I know is that some entity out there is hell bent on either enslaving or dissolving the Caucasian race, in particular. Is this because we are generally the protectors of all humanity... that is, would black slavery still be a thing if the Caucasians had not stepped in and fought on their behalf in the American Civil War. Are their other races that have come out in force on their behalf? Not that Caucasians are perfect, but, off hand, I cannot think of any other races standing up for another race in the history of humanity. I may be way off base here. I've barely gotten through half a cup of coffee this morning and seeing that the EU has dropped La Pen into the same hole the attempted to drop Trump in tells me that either Europe is too far gone or is about to be.

Hopefully, seeing La Pen being handled this way by the EU will foment enough public outcry in Europe as Trump's convictions by the kangaroo courts in the USA did for America... that Europe will save its self from the brink of oblivion. However, since the EU parliament is an unelected body, I am certain that it won't be a peace transition for Europe.

Judges going after politicians is a big proof that something is happening! They have been in cahoots for centuries! They never thought she would lose, now they all lose! For normies, even in this forum, who don't understand that Patriots are in full control!

I wonder what would happen if she started appearing in public wearing a yellow vest, and said let the politicians know what they think ...

Why are the globalists THIS into open borders? It seems like it's their non-negotiable, they're killing democracy just to try to protect it.

Guilty of being "too French"

The French kangaroo "court" wan'ts more time to concoct a halfway plausible excuse for its obvious political maneuvering.
