After the accusations of judicial scandal, a necessary defense of the rule of law – Liberation
A bolt from the blue. The decision rendered by justice In the case of parliamentary assistants of the FN (now RN) to the European Parliament provoked an earthquake unsurprisingly. Available and at the heart of the machinery which allowed the far-right party to divert several million euros from public funds, Marine Le Pen may not be a candidate in 2027. The news, taking into account the quality of the condemned personality, is of importance. The very likely absence of that which has three presidential candidates on the clock, which was twice qualified in the second round, and which was until Monday the more than probable candidate of a training which holds the top of the basket in the polls, is a major event. The political landscape is true, will be turned upside down.
Is this a political scandal, like the choir of the support of Marine Le Pen suggests it? No. Some argue that justice would have replaced the ballot boxes. But Monday the judges did not condemn the extreme right, and this current of thought – that Release Combat – will not be prevented from being represented in 2027. Hay of the gag which would have been allegedly put on « THE debates ideas « legitimate before any presidential election. These debates will take place, of course for the extreme right to agree by then on a figure to embody it.
As for the judicial scandal, orchestrated by a « Government of judges », All on the left, necessarily left, and supporters of political justice? He is unfounded. And doing this trial is very dangerous. The judges, let us recall that there were three to rule, only applied the lawrespect the law. And it is quite funny to note that those who denounce political justice in reality regret that it has not been enough. And the same people who attack the laxity of the judicial institution in time hastened Monday to criticize its severity. This is a sign that law is not their compass.
Beyond the future of Marine Le Pen, there was something more important on Monday: a battle around the rule of law. She has not emerged from nowhere in favor of a court decision. The land has been conducive to it for a while. But it is good, in the coming weeks or months, this fight that will be played in France. Between the attachment of some to the principles which govern the functioning of our democracy. Or the favors of others for authoritarian regimes where political power could make the judicial authority every morning every morning.
