Marine Le Pen, leader in everything but name of the French Right-populist Rassemblement National and one of the most prominent politicians in France, has been convicted by a Paris court of embezzling public funds. after a trial that was described by many Frenh commentators as an EU stitch up and a purely political verdict.
Mme. Le Pen was given a four-year prison sentence, two of which are suspended and two of which are to be served under house arrest with an ankle monitor. Le Pen will also have to pay a fine of €100,000, and has been banned from running for political office for five years.
Currntly Le Pen is leading the polls with over 30% of respondants saying they will support her bid to succeed Emanuel Macron in the coming 2027 presidential election, . With this sentence, the obvioisly politicised Paris criminal court hopes to remove the leading candidate from the race entirely. Le Pen can of course appeal, but her prospects are uncertain and a favourable ruling may be years away.
More likely, given the ugly mood of ethnic European French citizens after several decades of globalist misrule and concurrent financial and immigration crises, the country will descent further into civil unrest as the election approaches.
Le Pen was convicted alongside eight other members of the Rassemblement National/Front National and 12 parliamentary aides. Evidence proved she did not personally embezzle funds or enrich herself from EU coffers but prosecutors accuse her of directing aides to undertake work for her party while they were receiving salaries from the European Parliament.
They claim this happened between 2004 and 2016, and that Le Pen and her associates misappropriated over €4 million in this way. While nobody doubts the substance of the accusations, what Le Pen did was far from unusual and the sentence just seems ridiculouly over the top for a trivial offence.
Many European parliamentary representatives have used staff paid from parliamentary budgets for party projects – including Franziska Brantner, the present Co-Chair of German Green Party. Until recently this was a common practice, and even now the distinction between party and parliamentary work is not always easy to maintain, and both routinely and deliberately blurred.
The whole thing is reminiscent of the way the Democratic Party in the USA, after stealing the 2020 election from Donald Trump, used a series of bogus criminal charges tried in courts presided over by blatantly biased judges whose back stories included many years of political activism on behalf of the Democratic Party, and in many cases, ho owed their position to Democratic Party president Obama or Democratic Party State Governors.
Then there was the case of German politician Ursula von der Leyen who was being accused of corruption in her post as Defence Minister in Germany (giving contracts to a company owned by a friend of hers) before being put out of reach of national justice by a German political establishment desperate to cover up corruption and avoid a scancal being shoehorned into her current job as President of the European Union commission where she, very irregularly, apparently conducted contract negotiations for excessive numbers of Pfizer’s ‘vaccines’ via mobile phone text messages.
The EU is also always happy to fund diverse NGOs strongly promoting EU ‘values’ in foreign elections and to react accordingly if results are disappointing, e.g. Romania. Let us not start on how much EU money has disappeared in the direction of Ukraine.
Le Pen’s conviction continues a dangerously anti-democratic trend emerging
across Europe, namely attacks on politicians opposed to turning the EU from an association of sovereign states into a federal superstate. Earlier this month, the Central Election Bureau of
Romania withdrew Călin Georgescu’s right to run for office there,
months after Georgescu emerged as the frontrunner in the first round of
the Presidential elections and the Romanian Constitutional Court
oalso been gaining ground, with
the CDU and SPD openly planning to use the courts to have main opposition party AfD outlawed as a threat to democracy and to suppress dissent and linit free speech by legislating against anyone
convicted more than once of the broad and ill-defined speech offence of
‘incitement’.

Re-Branding Dissent - The Quiet Destruction Of Democracy
Many people, all the contributors to this publication among them, fear that democracy is being destroyed. OK, OK, hipsters will say but ‘we’ve never had democracy’, or, ‘it was destroyed long ago’, but left wing deceit aside, I think its worth actually thinking about how, many forms of democratic expression, effective dissent and peaceful self-determination are being outlawed and abolished in a sustained attack on free speech and civil rights.

Representative government Is Being Replaced By A Global Technocracy

Do the people who sit in their ivorty towers in Davos, New York , Brussels or London realise that the Le Pen show trial charade, engineered for the purpose of weakening the growing strength of resistance to the Cutural Marxism and the Globalists plan for a world government will have the opposite effect and is only going to move more indecisive voters to the right?
Not many years ago a French court found International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde guilty of negligence in handling IMF funds but did not hand down any punishment.
Legarde didn’t even get a criminal record for misusing… 100+ times the amount of funds in 2016.
As French finance minister in 2008, Legarde had approved an award of €404m ($429m; £340m) to businessman Bernard Tapie for the disputed sale of a firm.
Accused of allowing the misuse of public funds, rather than actual corruption, she could potentially have been sentenced to a year in prison and a fine of €15,000, but escaped a sentence and emerges from the trial without a criminal record.” Instead she was rewarded with the lucrative and influential IMF job after stepping back from politics.
