Paris CNN — French far-right figurehead Marine Le Pen has been banned from running for political office for five years after being found guilty of embezzling European Union funds, in a politically explosive ruling that has shattered her hopes of winning the presidency in 2027.
A Paris court also handed Le Pen, who was the frontrunner for the next election, a four-year prison sentence with two years suspended, to be served under house arrest, and a €100,000 ($108,000) fine. She can appeal but the ban will stand unless overturned by another court.
Her party, National Rally (RN), was ordered to pay €2 million in fines for the €4.1 million that it was accused of embezzling.

“Far right” is the new “racist”.
Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister, Matteo Salvini, has strongly
criticized the idea of barring French politician Marine Le
Pen from participating in elections, calling it a
“declaration of war from Brussels.”
Meloni sees that she is probably next.
My understanding is that she wanted good relations with Trump and an end to the Ukraine War, so it’s no surprise that she had to be cancelled.
Lawfare, les Français sont corrompus
“From Tallin in the Baltic to Odessa in the Black Sea, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent,”
Good ole European democracy tariffs away...
The National Rally has developed Jordan Bardella into leadership making him National Rally President in recent years.
He can take the mantle in 2027 if needed one only wonders what corruption they will accuse him of.
BTTT
Soros is getting closer to completing his hero Hitler’s Third Reich.
European governments are just as corrupt as ours if not more.
“From Tallin in the Baltic to Odessa in the Black Sea, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent”
Very true, but they still have one weakness - no unified army. That’s why this Russian Boogieman crap is so important to them as eventually a Marine LePen type will slip through the cracks and point her country towards the freedom and prosperity of Russia and demand the same for her people.
That, of course, has to be suppressed - with tanks if necessary.
Who do you think helped ours install the POTATUS and go after Trump?
Jordan Bardella is a limpwrist coward and a bum.
He was invited to speak at CPAC but backed down when he accused Steve Bannon of waving a Nazi salute to the crowd.
This type of milquetoast “leader” will never survive leftwing attacks. Good riddance. /spit
How do you say “BANANA REPUBLIC” in French?..................
Political retribution and lawfare is what the left does. And she is not “far right”.
Bardella did make it to Jerusalem the other day for the “Antisemitism Conference” and was in good company with Geert Wilders Party of Freedom etc. etc.
That event boycotted by lefties like the ADL.
In France a “limp wrist” perhaps polls better I see that in his polling numbers he’s only a few points off Le Pen and the economic mess will help him.
The Five Eyes were up to their five eyeballs in it. Btw, where’s the CrossFire Hurricane release of files?
Time for another French Revolution.
The revolution already happened. The counter revolution will come or France will be lost permanently.
