After Georgescu in Romania, another “uncomfortable” leader is disqualified by judicial way. The dolphin Bardella calls supporters to the meeting. Giorgia Meloni’s comment also arrives: “Nobody who really believes in democracy can rejoice”.
“A political sentence”. It was the caustic comment made by Marine Le Penguest of TF1, after the sentence of 4 years in prison and 5 years of ineligibility with immediate effect. “The rule of law has been completely violated, I will not let myself be eliminated in this way”, continued Le Pen, “I will pursue all the possible legal remedies. There is a small path; It is certainly tight, but it exists ». Yesterday’s condemnation, in fact, will prevent her (except for acquittal in the second degree) from running for the Elisha in the presidential elections of 2027.
The leader of RELEASE National It is not there, it promises to fight until the end against the sentence issued by the “judges by authoritarian regime”. According to Le Pen, in fact, “it is an administrative disagreement with the European Parliament: there was no personal enrichment”, while the defendants of the trial “were judged in a particularly partial way”. In last night, General De Gaulle also mentioned: “The Supreme Court is the people”.
This is the second case, after the exclusion of Calin Georgescu In Romania, in which a political leader given by favorite to the elections is “removed from the middle” by judicial basis. The comment of the Italian Premier also arrived in the morning Giorgia Meloniwho has expressed himself on X: “No one who really believes in democracy can rejoice in a sentence that affects the leader of a large party, depriving millions of citizens of their representation”.
Also this morning, interviewed by C-News, the current President of the Rassemblement National (and now probable candidate for the presidency) spoke) Jordan Bardella. The 29 -year -old politician made his debut saying that “our democracy is sick”, also denouncing “the tyranny of the judges”, without however forgetting to condemn the death threats that came in these hours against them.
Bardella also added: “They will do everything to prevent us from getting to power. There are millions of French that this morning, and since yesterday, they are indignant, and who believe that the judges have decided in an disproportionate, political and party way to hinder the starting grid of the next elections “. Finally, Bardella remarked his “total loyalty” to Marine Le Pen, underlining that “all possible appeals will be made, we have a knee on the ground, but we are far from being dead”. Finally, the young leader of the Rassemblement National called all the supporters and French indignant for the sentence «to peaceful mobilization», Which will take place this weekend.
Almost simultaneously with Bardella, the Prosecutor General of the French Court of Cassation was also pronounced, Remy Heitzwho rejected the accusations of Le Pen: “Justice is not political, this decision is not a political but judicial decision, made by three independent and impartial judges”.
As for the next French presidential presidential presidential elections, according to Le Figaro The appeal process could take place in about a year, with a verdict expected within three months, or a few months before the presidential elections of 2027. In the subsequent degree of judgment, the Pen could avoid “immediate ineligibility”, thus maintaining the possibility of applying to the Elysée at the last moment.
However, in order for this to happen, a very close judicial calendar would be necessary, which judging by the evident decision of the French judiciary to punish the pen with the maximum penalty already at first instance, most likely it will not be respected. In the event of a sentence also on appeal, however the possibility of resorting to the Court of Cassation would remain.
According to a survey carried out by Elabe for BFMTV, 57% of the French believe yesterday’s condemnation “a judicial decision”, while 42% consider it to be spoiled by the desire to prevent Marine Le Pen from applying to the next presidential elections.
Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal of Paris has communicated that a possible trial on the case of Marine Le Pen and the fictitious uses of the Front National at the European Parliament could end with a sentence in the summer of 2026. The information was released through an official note of the same Court.
