Knowledge about banning the Marine Pen from seeking a five-year ruling office

PARIS (AP) – French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was sentenced to a five-year ban on running for office in order to misappropriate EU funds, a major political earthquake. The ruling came into effect immediately, likely forbidding her from participating in France’s next presidential election.

Le Pen, who has been second in France’s President Emmanuel Macron twice, has been supporting more and more in recent years. Monday’s verdict will have a serious impact on both France and Europe more widely, both politically and her own future as a political force.

How to say the ruling?

For Le Pen, the worst scenario is implemented.

Jean-Marie le Pen, the daughter of the 56-year-old far-right totem figure, was sentenced to two years in prison and two years in prison, and was sentenced to public office with five years of qualifications.

Le Pen and other Rally Party officials were tried for using money used for EU parliamentary aides, but instead paid employees who worked for the party between 2004 and 2016, violating the BLOC rules of 27 countries. At that time, the national rally was called the National Front.

Le Pen is at the heart of the “system” her party uses to withdraw funds from EU parliamentary funds, the judge said. Le Pen, denies misconduct. He was also fined 100,000 euros ($108,000).

Although she can appeal the House arrest verdict, she can eventually serve when wearing an electronic ankle bracelet, the ban on the campaign office is “immediately effective” and has nothing to do with whether she appeals.

An appeal ruling that overturns the injunction can restore her hope of standing. However, with the election only two years, time is exhausted and there is no guarantee that the Court of Appeal will be more favorable.

Le Pen’s efforts ruined

Monday’s ruling came in a record-breaking poll against Le Pen, who hoped her decade of efforts to guide her party into the mainstream and would eventually come true in the next presidential election.

Since she inherited the leadership of the National Front Party from her father in 2011, she has been working to break the walls of fear, so far, it has been fear so far.

She changed the name of the party and launched her embarrassing father in 2015 as part of her efforts to get rid of the re-convening of the national assembly as racism and anti-Semitism tainted decades.

A sly politician, Le Pen, also transformed his image from an aggressive anti-system advocate to a forgotten moderate female spokesperson in France.

The normalization strategy has paid off, and the party has become the main political group in the House of Commons, building a strong network of officials in France.

What’s next?

Le Pen has been a leading figure in the national rally since 2011. Ten years later, Jordan Bardella, 29, succeeds the party president so she can focus on the upcoming presidential election.

Last year, Bardella led the party’s campaign for the European general election, while Le Pen took over the RN MP group of the French National Assembly. Le Pen was allowed to retain her mission as a member of parliament, according to Monday’s ruling.

Bardella quickly rose to the highest point, honing his political skills as president of the party’s youth wing. Although he has been careful not to cover up Le Pen, his popularity has been quick, especially among young people. If Le Pen is effectively banned from running, then Bardella seems to be the natural candidate to follow her.

However, observers say there is no guarantee that he will convince as many voters as she is. In recent months, some voices within the party have criticized his management for being too focused on his personal career.

Le Pen’s party takes financial hit

The national rally was fined 2 million euros, of which 1 million euros had to be paid, while the other half was asked for repeated crimes. The party will also give up another million euros seized during the investigation.

It is unclear how much the forfeiture and fines will affect the party’s vault. Audits of the party’s accounts between 2013 and 2016 showed that by the end of 2016, the party’s deficit was 9.1 million euros. However, the party still has a cash balance of €1.7 million and borrowed €1 million in the 2017 presidential campaign, while also holding a loan of €87,000, which is Cotelec, its funding association.

At that time, the party also owed a Russian bank for 9.4 million euros and received a loan for 6 million euros in 2014. However, in last year’s legislative election, the National Rally was successful in the election, providing the party with extensive financial resources. In France, state funding of political parties is based primarily on election results.
