    This is the context that’s missing from the headlines of the other thread of this event. She’s not being banned for being far right, but being banned for embezzlement.

        Well, that’s a given, but leading with why is more genuine than making what appears to be a propaganda piece by only mentioning the political part (far-right leader), which makes it appear that she was banned for being far-right.

    I’m not really sure banning her from running will be beneficial to the French people in the long run. Bardella is warming up on the sideline, already popular and more future proof than Le Pen because of his age (without all of the negative baggage Le Pen brings). i’m thinking he’ll attract a lot of votes from already cynical people, taking this conviction as proof ‘they’re out to get her’.

    But I get that they were obligated to follow the law (she herself helped pass). Damned if you do, damned if you don’t kind of situation.

      You talk like this is a tactic from her political opponents and whether it’s an efficient tactic or not, but it’s just the justice system following their procedure, that’s it. Whether it’ll help the far right or not is irrelevant.

        I think you’re reading too much into my comment. Maybe it’s because of my unclear usage of ‘they’.
