The HAGUE-PVV leader Geert Wilders calls it "a scandal" that the immunity of French politician Marine Le Pen in the European Parliament (EP) is lifted, he said Thursday to the ANP. "Spreading the truth can now be prosecuted. Madness," said Wilders.
Against Le Pen in France runs an investigation, because she posted in 2015 three shocking photos of atrocities of Islamic State (IS) via Twitter. There is impunity as an MEP, but publication of this kind of material is punishable in France. Now her immunity is lifted, the French public prosecutor can prosecute her.

And talk of civil war starts bubbling in France.
Thou shalt not impugn muslims.
Who was it that said, telling the truth is a revolutionary act?
That is why our Constitution forbids the Bill of Attainder and Ex Post Facto.
I know right? Thank God! I feel bad for the people in countries that do not have these protections!
OK. How about impaling?
She can use this “scandal” to her advantage and firm up her base. This just may get her the win in the runoff.
If I were Marine, I would publicly say “Please prosecute me and throw me in jail for my “alleged” crimes against the great country of France. I F’n dare you!”
I don't know how French elections are structured but if,by chance,France has any noteworthy number of "moderates" or "independents" this could work against her.Seems to me that this will harden the positions that French voters have on the EU...those in favor will be more in favor and those opposed will be more opposed.Who knows if any minds will be changed.
It will be interesting to see which group is more energized.
Orwell have to be among the best socialists ever.
