Marine Le Pen condemned the condemnation that the risks that prevent her from the upcoming presidential elections are “a charming chase” and pledged to appeal to “defend democracy and the rule of law”, as thousands of people gathered in Paris on Sunday to support the right -wing leader.

Le Pen and her National Party was dull Condemn On Monday, the embezzlement of Parliament’s funds of 4.4 million euros for Brussels employees who were actually working in RN in France.

It has been granted an immediate ban on the elections for a period of five years, as well as a two -year prison that is likely to be presented at home with an electronic bracelet, followed by two additional years hanging.

Le Pen told a crowd of supporters waving flags that the ruling “is not a judicial decision but a political decision”, which “prevented the only sovereignty-the people-from expressing themselves.”

Le Pen also sought to defuse the accusations of other political parties that RN was seeking to attack the justice system in France, and instead, he described the decision as non -democratic.

“We are the most enthusiastic and most important defenders of democracy and the rule of law,” Le Pen said, despite the evidence presented in the trial that RN officials and their assistants intentionally offended the money of the European Parliament.

The combat approach adopted by Le Pen in response to the condemnation of its strategy in recent years of the party’s normalization and presentation as political institutions in France.

The aggressive position of RN against the ruling led to neglecting anger among supporters, while the president’s judge was placed in the case in light of the police protection after threats against it.

Le Pen obtained the lifeline earlier this week when the Court of Appeal said that it would hear its case by 2026, which means that it will be able to run for the presidency in 2027 if it is disinfected – a scenario seen as unlikely given the evidence presented in the first case – or if the judges decide on a lighter sentence that does not include the ban on the platform.

Le Pen chose not to retreat and allow her carefully selected successor, the head of the RN party, Jordan Bartella, to escalate as an alternative candidate, instead with a focus on the firepower on defending the election attempt.

Speaking to the assembly, Barilla said that more than 10,000 supporters joined the gathering and that the ruling was “a direct attack against democracy and the injury of millions of French.”

He also pledged to stay sincere. He added: “She can rely on … more than ever, the duo that we have formed depends on trust, respect, respect and common.”

The attendees also expressed the march, some of whom made a bus by RN, also expressed their anger at Pens’s ban on standing for the presidency in the upcoming elections.

Lawrence, a former assistant store from the Eure-ET-Loir department near Paris, said it was a “scandal” that Luban could not run, adding that she voted for her on several occasions. “We want to change this country,” she said.

RN’s criticism of the referee has sparked opposition from all over the political spectrum, as the middle politicians and shapes hosted their own gatherings on Sunday.

In a march on the outskirts of Paris, the former Prime Minister and the leader of the Middle Gabriel Atal “The extreme right was gathering to attack our judges and attack our institutions,” he said. He added that the central bloc “will never rule out the decision of the judicial system.”

Prime Minister Francois Bayro told Le Parisien newspaper on Sunday that political protests against judicial decisions are “not healthy or desirable” given the separation of powers in the French constitution.
