French court says Le Pen appeal ruling could come before presidential vote • FRANCE 24 English

A French appeals court said Tuesday it would examine Marine Le Pen’s case within a timeframe that could potentially allow the far-right leader to contest the 2027 presidential election if her conviction is overturned. In a court ruling many commentators called a political earthquake, Le Pen on Monday was given a prison term and fine after being convicted of a fake jobs scheme at the EU parliament.

  1. I hate how nowadays, holding any politician to account for their wrongdoings is seen as a targeted attack.
    Like at this point I'm convinced someone would defend their favorite politician literally stomping someone to death at a rally and be like "oh no don't arrest them that's targetted!!!"

  2. It doesn't take a genius to understand the rule: don't commit crimes when you want to run for office, unless of cause, when you are a member of a right wing mob. They are "not very smart", they can't follow rules, they often can't keep their money as well as their jobs, they can't keep their mouths shut, they collect indictments for domestic violence as a hobby, and allways others are responsible…Right wing extreme ideology isn't an ideology, it is simply the refusal to grow up.

  3. It's getting so hard to support good people in Turkey now .. I mean how can you support Ekrem Imamoglu now ? What alternative you show ? France ? But the progressive establishment in France is doing the same things done by Erdogan ..

  4. What do you expect? The First "Lady" of France is a man. The government in France is all a charade and a joke.

  5. A bad day for putin’s effort to screw France. putin always partners with the far right. Not because they are wise insightful and honest and smart. Because they ain’t.
