Marine Le Pen found guilty, barred from running for French presidency in 2027

Political wrongdoing shouldn’t be excused, but it should have fair consequences. In the case of leftist leaders, there are usually no consequences at all. We all saw this with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his breach of ethics law, and trampling the constitutional rights of citizens when he “broke the highest law in the land by invoking the Emergencies Act.” Both of these were serious breaches of the law, yet Trudeau suffered no consequences. As for Joe Biden, there is good reason that his family has earned the nickname the “Biden Crime Family.” Now compare the zero consequences those two former leaders received for their actions with the verdict on France’s Marine Le Pen, who has just been found guilty of siphoning off “EU money intended to pay EU parliamentary aides to pay party staff instead between 2004 and 2016.” Le Pen still  denies the accusation. Nonetheless, she has been barred without recourse from being a candidate in the next Presidential elections.

As to be expected, the leftist media was quick to gloat, and as it did so, once again called the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders and Italy’s Matteo Salvini, both of whom condemned the verdict, “far right.” They are constantly tarred with this label because they oppose the suicidal immigration policies of the globalist left.

How low is the corrupt left willing to go to stop their opponents? This gives us an idea: the left tried to destroy Trump politically and economically, and when that failed, they tried to jail him. That, too, failed and then came two assassination attempts.

Although Le Pen “said before the verdict that that any immediate ban on running for election would be like a ‘political death sentence,'” and that judges had “the power of life or death over our movement,” let’s hope the decision backfires. After the ruling, she stated that prosecutors were “‘only interested‘ in barring her from the presidential election,” set for 2027.

The populist movement needs to gain more strength than ever now in light of Le Pen’s verdict. Not coincidentally, Le Pen had led the polls for the first round of the 2027 election.

“France’s Marine Le Pen, leading right-wing politician, found guilty of embezzlement, barred from elections,” by Frank Andrews, CBS News, March 31, 2025:

Marine Le Pen, the figurehead of the ascendant far-right political movement in France, was hit with a non-custodial prison sentence and barred from running in elections for five years on Monday as a court found her guilty of embezzling European Union funds to pay members of her National Rally party’s staff.

In handing down the sentence, the judge said the public office ban would take effect immediately and she will not be able to appeal, which means Le Pen will not be able to run for the French presidency in 2027.”The court took into consideration, in addition to the risk of reoffending, the major disturbance of public order if a person already convicted… was a candidate in the presidential election,” judge Benedicte de Perthuis, was quoted as saying by the French news agency AFP.

De Perthuis also sentenced Le Pen to four years in prison, but said that part of her sentence would be served with her wearing an electronic tag, not in prison, and that two years of the sentence would be suspended. He also fined her more than $100,000. Both the fine and the prison sentence can be appealed.Recent polling has shown Le Pen is likely to have won at least a first round in France’s next national election, though it is much less clear how she would have fared in a second round against a more moderate candidate….
