After a few tense hours we have a definitive verdict and sentence - and it is the worst Marine Le Pen could have hoped for.
She expected to be convicted, but the key question was the sentence. It is a five-year period of ineligibility which is to be carried out straight away.
What this means is Le Pen cannot run in the next 2027 election - barring some legal twist of which I am completely unaware of.
This of course is an earthquake. It has massive implications for her, her party and French democracy.

Le Penn cannot run for president in 2027 in France where many tipped her to succeed this time. They have banned her over little more than an accounting slight
SPEECHLESS...
They tried to do the same to Trump.
Why speechless? This was easily predicted and expected.
People need to wake up and accept Europe is NOT a free society and they will not tolerate any peasant uprising. The globalist powers will not allow anyone to challenge their reign.
This has been obvious for nearly a decade.
She’s against the Ukraine War, so it makes sense that she’s now silenced.
EU going full communist in every lical election all around.
I note the steady use of “far right”, but am thankful that our ever watchful media has determined that there are no “far left”.
I’d run anyway and encourage people to write her name in.
She’s 56. They’re doing all they can to prevent what happened in America where the great unwashed public took back the leadership from the elites. (You can argue Trump is an elite and I won’t argue the point. But, that is in effect what happened.)
I saw an analysis of French politics and it’s a bunch of related families who all sent their kids to the same schools and who are, in effect, an inbreed culture separate from the rest of France.
WOW! What a shock. In yet another European country, the primary challenger to the corrupt Establishment magically cannot run for office. Gee, what are the odds that all the primary challengers to the Establishment would be legally barred from running for office?
The AfD to be legally barred from running for office in Germany in Drei......Zwei......Eins.....
I’m sorry to hear that. LePen wants to defend France from the Globalist of the EU. For that unpardonable ambition, she is in essence, forbidden from holding public office, at least on a national scale. This is my take on what’s happening to her and her Party. France has succeeded in clipping her political wings, just as the Democrats tried to do with Donald Trump in America.
Election interference!
the Antichrist will have his empire centered in Europe soon. He can’t afford to have any Euro-Trumps. he knows he has only a short time so he’s not messing around.

TYRANNY OF THE STATE.
Imagine the emails that are going back and forth at Rat Party Headquarters right now! “Geeze...we just didn’t go about it the right way” would be a recurring theme.
Seems to be a pattern, here, nes pas?
Welcome to leftist tyranny.
Global
Macron succeeded where the DNC failed. Erdogan in Turkey also succeeded in the same manager. Ditto Romania.
The punishment for weaponizing the law must be Macron and Erdogan death.
A very high cost is the only way to eliminate the practice
French democracy? Try Western democracy. Every advanced,civilized country has at least one Maoist party...ours being the Rat Party. It's not difficult to imagine how this will energize each and every one of those parties.
