  1. Is this the democracy so many fought and died for to "liberate" France un WWII? Democracy is dead in France and authoritarian and autocrats rule

  2. Embezzlement is not a democratic norm. The strength of parliamentary systems is that you don’t need an individual personality to get elected, you run on the strength of your measures.

  3. France is done for. Luckily Americans are smarter and stood up against this when they tried it with Trump.

  4. Democracy dies in Europe. How much of democracy is the far-left and it's judicial allies are willing to destroy in the name of saving it until there is nothing left worth saving?

  5. je rentre du travail, j'apprend la nouvelle…je suis vraiment fière d'être Française aujourd'hui !!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

  6. Comment section and the supporters of the verdict downright mocking the conservatives scare me more than these power hungry elitists .. Such compliance .. They think they will remain safe in the future as all enthusiastic supporters of any totalitarian system believe in the beginning ..

  7. It begs the question though, Madame Le Pen has been in politics for decades…the charges regarding embezzlement present as a novice mistake…because, the account ledgers are suppose to be audited on a yearly basis…so, why was this " embezzlement " not identified years ago……the timing on this, is ….interesting…..I'm NY Toms very British/Brazilian future wife MD, female Smiley

  8. Iam so tired of other right wing leaders going "Uh look at european countries ignoring democracy" when ALL THEY DO is f-ing ignoring democracy!
    SHUT UP god damn it

  9. Constitutional Court changed the law . For her appeals. And now she won't be able to run for office before 2027 election. How strange for this to happen just before her trial.
