This is Europe! The law is for everybody.

France demonstrating via its actions what a pathetic, piss-weak nation the USA has become. Allowing itself to be controlled by an orange narcissist.

Wait a minute!!!! You can be ruled ineligible to run for the presidency if you are a criminal? Did someone forget to mention this to Moscow Mitch?

I can't wait to read Merrick Garland's memoir. Not putting him on the Supreme Court probably made Trump President again. He should mention that.

America should have done this for FELONS

Les Droits love a martyr with a mug shot..

Another Russian asset in Europe. Good riddance.

what can we learn from France-they can do this but we can't????as trump & his sycophants completely destroy our credibility & economy &truth, justice & freedom for russia's vision of oppression & no freedom

Must be great to have a court system that gets shit done.

Excellent news. Something other less advanced democracies like the US could learn from.

... if indeed the US still is a democracy, which remains to be seen.

Had she been left, they would have canonized her

americans too busy chanting 'USA #1' to see this

Good job France. Glad to see grifters can still face justice.

Une décision de justice équitable pour Mme Le Pen

Sous-titres français disponibles

Casse-toi, Marine! hon hon hon

Wait....you mean politicians can't be in office after being convicted of crimes. Amazing! Wish that worked here.

Unfortunately she's only barred for five years, but I guess that's still better than nothing.

Shit, turns out a country can just prosecute and penalize a person who committed crimes no matter who they are w/o regard for BS concerns like “political instability.” Because you know what causes political instability? Treating the rich & powerful differently when it comes to criminal justice.

Hope that T-rumpZ is next in line... that 🐷

Putin is pissed He paid millions of Euros to buy her from the Nazis

Well at least one country does it right!

Elon Musk defense of Marine Le Pen—convicted of embezzling €4 million from the EP—stating, “When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world,” is about protecting fascists who break the law.

Other democracies around the world are embarrassing the U.S. with their ability to dispose of asshole politicians.

Try reading some foreign language newspapers/social media sites, comments in France & Europe overwhelmingly state this is a sham verdict designed to prevent her from running since she's leading in polls.

No they’re not, but the far right folk that want dictatorships certainly are 👍

Try providing a link.

The Truth will out. All these populist leaders are solely out for themselves. There will be an Emperors New Clothes moment in the #USA. There will be a landslide victory. The #republicians for their moral absence will cease to exist. Autocratic states will no longer hold the high ground.

Now if it was Trump who was found guilty of the same thing (or far worse), nothing would happen.

Nice!

They will just say it's a conspiracy! We have different realities now. 🤡

They already said so. But I think that all adequate and adult people on the planet understand everything perfectly. It's just that there are really many feeble-minded people on the planet, like for example foreigners who voted for Trump, I have some such friends* here. Unables to think.

Lock her up

But a convicted felon was not barred from running for President……

Wild how almost every functioning country manages to deal with their corrupt politicians instead of passively giving them the keys to the kingdom. We'll be lucky if she's not invited to Maralago and asked to join in looting our government.

Justice prevails in some countries. I applaud the French justice system.

Flawless Victory. How to handle far-right. Follow our example with Musk and Trump. Sure you can do even better with them. They are... potent target for jail, you know?

Here we ushered a far worse criminal into a 2nd term of presidency

Criminals can’t run for public office in France? What a concept.

Unfortunately here we have a felon in the White House, doing anything he can to dismantle the constitution..

A disgusting thief.

What a difference an ocean makes.

Alléluia, il y a un Dieu et oh, comme il est bon!

Gee… holding criminals who run for office accountable. Novel idea.

Bon débarras (Good riddance).

That was quick It’s been FIVE YEARS and the US couldn’t get THIS into a courtroom. Absolutely everyone dies democracy better that us

Marine Le Pen convicted of embezzling EU money, banned from running in 2027 presidential elections. In France, the justice system works.

Yes, please.... She and all of their kind...

What a time to be alive, where they can allow an individual they KNOW will fail run for the party, only to pull out the Uno card far into the election.

Não falha!

It's always the ones you least expect

MORE EGGS ON JD VANCE! 8R WOMIT ON HIM!

That's definitive? No appeal?

American Citizens stop Trump from ERASING democracy. Elon committed a crime in WI: bribery. Don’t get distracted by FAKE FOX NEWS. Visit Ballotpedia.org or your local government offices to determine the upcoming elections. It is TIME to VOTE BLUE in WI and FL. ballotpedia.org/Elections_ca...

On rare occasions, a witch hunt catches a witch.

Imagine barring a criminal from running for the highest job in the country.

France again showing us the way to fight against an oppressive regime. It's like they invented it or something.

Of course she's a criminal.

The French have more sense than the Americans obviously.

Finally, some good news from the free and democratic world. Fascist and racist monsters must never come anywhere near state power!

More reasons for Americans to follow France's examples.

A TV personality who is officially convicted of 34 felonies and officially impeached twice during his first administration is elected for the 2nd time and is threatening a 3rd time. The courts won't comment on the prospect, and the press thinks it's entertaining to discuss adnauseum.

Yep. And he acts like a big baby, too.

She is going to jail. If only we had a justice system that worked here - Trump would have been in jail.

Meanwhile in the USA…

Banning a politician from running for president for breaking the law?? What a concept!!!😒

But we cannot. America is a fucking joke.

👍

Another fascist grifter. At least France and Brazil handle their fascist criminals appropriately. Sadly we are letting Trump destroy our country like Orban has done to Hungary and Putin has done to Russia.

I think Romania did a good job in 1989!

Its typical of Far-right politicians to mis-use EU funds, mostly because they are shit at keeping a proper well-kept budget, but also because they don't care and will allocate the money as they see fit. EU funds like this is the perfect trap for FarRightoids. Please have some cheese... *SNAP*

Guaranteed in the next few weeks, Donald Trump will start to threaten France and the EU unless his good friend gets put back on the ballot for 2027

Criminality seems to be prevalent in far-right politicians.

Watching the alt-right leaders suffer is my not-so-guilty guilty pleasure

Felons should be behind bars

And yet we have one in the White House...😂😂😂

Viva la France!

One Trump like nazi less in the politic. Thanks!
