The far right calls to street protests

The far-right far-right announced on Tuesday peaceful demonstrations and other events, including the distribution of leaflets, in support of his leader, Marine Le Pen, who was sentenced to four years in prison for hijacking the European Parliament, in a sentence that forbids him to hold a public office for 5 years and therefore will not be able to apply in 2027.

The president of the party the National Assembly and the political successor of Marin Le Pen, Jordan Bardella, made the announcement about the demonstrations in an interview with the Radio Europe 1, where he launched an « indignation », but without violence « that could give the political opponents an excuse » to attack.

« We are not fascists, we are not racists, we are not far right. We are reasonable, patriotic people, we love our country and we want to fight for the destiny of France and for the daily life of the French, » said Jordan Bardella, a 29 -year -old politician and who is considered the most likely replacement of Marine Pen.

The latter accused the « system » on Tuesday of launching a « nuclear bomb » against it to remove it from the political scene.

« If the judges and magistrates decide who can present themselves in the elections and who the French can vote, then we are not in democracy, » Marine Le Pen said at a meeting with the deputies of his party.

« The system has launched the nuclear bomb » and did this « obviously because we are close to winning the choices », therefore the system decided to go « to a higher step, » she added.

Marine Le Pen was sentenced Monday by a court in Paris to a period of five -year ineligibility with immediate execution and to a four -year sentence, two of them with execution, in which it can be monitored at home with the help of an electronic bracelet.

The conviction, which also includes a fine of 100,000 euros, was pronounced in a file of fundraising of the European Parliament, respectively the classification in this institution as assistants of MEPs of persons who actually worked for the National Assembly. Eight former MEPs of this party were also convicted in the same file.

Marine Le Pen has filed an appeal, so that until the final sentence is pronounced the criminal punishment will be suspended, but not the decision on political inelibe, so it will no longer be able to apply for the presidential elections in 2027, unless a definitive sentence will come that will no longer provide for a public.
