Marine Le Pen is preparing for an early presidential election “because she fears a verdict of ineligibility” in her trial, believes Éric Dupond-Moretti

The former Minister of Justice also assures that he would say “no” to a position in the Bayrou government.

If Marine Le Pen is preparing, as she declared on Wednesday December 18 in The Parisian, to an early presidential election, “it’s because she fears a verdict of ineligibility”, said Wednesday, December 18 on France Inter, former Minister of Justice Éric Dupond-Moretti. The head of the RN deputies was tried in recent weeks at the Paris court in the case of the FN parliamentary assistants. The prosecution notably requested five years in prison and a sentence of five years of ineligibility against Marine Le Pen.

“It speeds up the process,” according to Éric Dupond-Moretti, “she wants to run for president”. Which makes the former Minister of Justice say that the elected RN is “a danger”. He also points out the fact that she “gives lessons in democracy, while his party is absolute nepotism from A to Z, it has always been the small family business.”

The lawyer and former minister then assumes that he has “fed up” to hear the justification of the legitimacy of the National Rally by its 11 million voters, and that “as soon as you say something about the RN, you insult the voters”. Emmanuel Macron, “It’s 22 million votes, which allowed the President of the Republic to be re-elected.” Finally, Éric Dupond-Moretti assures that he would refuse a position in the next government of François Bayrou. “I’m not saying [que la politique] It’s over, but I say no for now.”
