Marine Le Pen is still barred from running in presidential elections
Perhaps no surprise, but as of now, while France is on the verge of possible snap elections, Marine Le Pen is still barred from running, in continuing political warfare:
France may be teetering on the verge of national snap elections, but the poll-topping sovereigntist leader Marine Le Pen is banned from even standing, a Paris court has confirmed, over a conviction her supporters say is a case of politically targeted lawfare.It most definitely is, and this must be protested by all concerned, and everything must be done to reverse it. What France is undergoing now cannot be allowed to go unopposed. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
The French Council of State, the body of top lawyers which provides legal advice to the government and supreme court, has rejected an appeal by National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to have her “ineligibility” order overturned, reports Le Figaro. The order that was imposed on the politician in March by a judge is considered unusual and controversial because unlike normal criminal punishments, it is being imposed immediately, despite the appeals process to have the conviction itself overturned not having been exhausted.
Supporters of Le Pen have called the move to block her from office a nakedly political move to get her off the ballot at any cost, at a time where her party leads the polls in France. Le Pen herself had said it is a bid by the judiciary to “steal” the next election.
