The leader of the National Rally in France says she'll fight back against the court's ruling against her on trumped up embezzlement charges,

National Rally leader Marine Le Pen has vowed to fight a Paris court’s decision to ban her from standing in the upcoming presidential election, accusing the judiciary of acting politically and attempting to undermine the people’s sovereignty.

In an unprecedented move, magistrates in Paris on Monday sentenced former presidential candidate Marine Le Pen to a five-year ban from standing for any political office in France after finding her guilty of embezzlement over the alleged use of European Union funds for her populist National Rally party at the EU Parliament for political activities in France. Crucially, the judges sided with demands for prosecutors to enact the ban immediately and for it to remain in place during any appeal, making it likely that the prohibition would remain in force during the 2027 presidential race to replace Emmanuel Macron, who will be term-limited from running again for the presidency.

Le Pen, the undisputed frontrunner in the polls for the presidential race, has claimed the ruling is something usually seen in “authoritarian regimes”, arguing that the presumption of innocence is typically returned to those in France who launch appeals against convictions. Therefore, the ban on her from running for office during the appeal process violates the rule of law, she asserted.

“This evening, there are millions of French people who are indignant, indignant to an unimaginable point, seeing that, in France, in the country of human rights, judges have implemented practices that we believed reserved for authoritarian regimes,” the National Rally leader said in an interview on Monday evening according to Le Figaro.

Despite previously claiming that such a ban would represent a “political death sentence”, Le Pen has vowed to fight the ruling and said that she would not allow the French election to be “stolen” by the judiciary.

In a press conference on Tuesday morning, she said that her party “will not let this happen” and will defend the rights of the French people, who she said “have the right to vote for whoever they wish.” [...]

U.S. President Donald Trump also commented on the ruling from the Oval Office, describing it as a “big deal.”

“She was banned for running for five years, and she’s the leading candidate. That sounds like this country,” Trump quipped, referring to lawfare attempts to prevent his recent election.

It most definitely is similar to what Trump went through, which proved the USA is not immune to leftist lawfare. Something equally vital to ponder is that a considerable number of European politicians also broke the same rules Le Pen was accused of doing, and by contrast, they got away with it. Which proves this was as political a ruling as could be found in Europe.

This cannot be allowed to go unopposed. Let's hope even in Israel, people will speak out against it.
