The EU has its own deep state and they don't like populist, nationalist, conservatives, either.
Conservative Marine Le Pen will face France’s President Emmanuel Macron next Sunday in a runoff election for the presidency of France. Quite obviously, Le Pen’s nationalism and scares the transnationalists in Brussels and they have now retaliated. The UK Guardian reports:
The European Union’s anti-fraud body has accused Marine Le Pen and several of her party members – including her father – of embezzling about €620,000 while serving as members of the European parliament.
France’s investigative website Mediapart published a section of the new 116-report alleging that the MEPs misused EU funds for national party purposes.
Leaking this a week before the election qualifies as a dirty trick. Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (National Rally) party spokesman complains:
“Marine Le Pen contests this. She contests it without having had access to the details of the accusation. It’s a manipulation; unfortunately, I’m not surprised,” Bosselut told the French channel BFMTV. (snip)
Bosselut said Le Pen had “not been summoned by any French judicial authority” and accused the European authorities of failing to send him or Le Pen the final report.
The charges cannot be answered, and so hang there before the voters’ eyes to drive away support for Pe Pen. The example cited in the Guardian report is a conference charged to the EU, on an EU topic, where party matters allegedly were also discussed.

It is amazing how socialists everywhere operate the in the same ways.
Sounds great, right?
Unless you take the time to read further down to this bit...
...Volunteers count the ballots one by one. Officials will then use state-run software to register and report results more efficiently. But legally only the paper counts. If a result is challenged, the paper ballots are recounted manually...
And are counted and counted until they match what Deep State's software says they say, eh...?
Its vastly better than what the US does in most states.
Most developed countries national elections are better run and more auditable than those of the US.
Le Pen isnt conservative, she’s just anti immigration, her views on the role of govt is inline with most of the social welfare programs popular with the left in Europe. She and Macron are essentially democrats in that respect, with Macron being more centrist fiscally.
Of course they are rigging it. I thought that was clear from the last French election. Their deep state is older and deeper than ours.
