Enforcing laws on rich/powerful, novel concept in some lands.

What? A right-wing politician actually being held accountable for being awful and a criminal?
Never thought I’d see the day. Good job, France!
This is honestly a fantastic development. Vive la République!
Good. In my country, a former PM who embezzled 1.6B is on the verge of being set free, with little in the way of jail time, while a construction worker who stole a loaf of bread got 40 years. Wtf.
Edit: I got the bread story wrong. Not the 1.6B.
40 years for a loaf of bread?

I was wondering if this was the case? Apparently it was because it was a fourth offense and the law was strict about sentencing no matter what.
Which is a thing I find utter bullshit BTW. No crime that petty should be punished that bad.
Got twice as much as Jean Valjean. Absolutely hilarious.
Someone should sens him a copy of the book. I think it will resonate with him quite a bit.
To be fair in those days it was hanging (at least in Britain) for just about everything…
Wait what’s the bread story?
So presidential! She could be our new president here in the US! Imagine that! First Felon woman president!
Man! We’re busting glass ceilings!
A woman? That sounds like DEI, that’s not allowed in the US of Trump.
Please, have her
Trump I’d working on that. Either her, a 3rd term, or Felon Elon …billionaire’s clause amendment.
Wow so when a fascist oligarch tries to buy your country you are allowed to say NO?
The French justice system wins and the USA fails.
Of course Le Pen’s reaction is that this is politically motivated. I’m not familiar with the ins and outs of this case, but am assuming the verdict is sound. Reactions like this are in my mind more serious than the actual offence; they undermine the rule of law. If found guilty in her appeal they should take this reaction into account and ban her from office forever.
Now do Farage.
If only America would’ve done this after Jan 6th
What AMerica should have done with Trump
Worse than that would be justified.
After the January 6th insurrection he should have been hanged for treason.
I wish we could do that in the USA. Must be nice to have a functional government.
Hitler was sentenced for 5 years too lmao
For just five years, though. Don’t bury the lede.
It’s 5 more years than any other recent fascist has gotten
Common French W.
