On the eve of the last day of hearings in the trial of European parliamentary assistants, the lawyer for the National Rally (RN) pleaded for acquittal. A plea in the style of indignation, and the repetition of the mantra: “there is no fraudulent system”… On her bench, Marine Le Pen listened, looking concerned. His lawyer, Rodolphe Bosselut, will plead this Wednesday, the last day of the trial before deliberation.
Steep is the slope, that of the backrest. Strong is the wind, that of requisitions. Rare disheveled hair, fiery verb, master David Dassa Le-Deist, the lawyer of the National Rally (RN) and its treasurer, Wallerand de Saint-Just, shouts like a cyclist in the Alpe d 'Boo a mistral day. After these two months of hearing which dissected a damning case, and relentless requisitions, the lawyer demands the release of the party and its treasurer. An ambitious goal.
The refrain of the “political trial”
« For the defense, why deny it, it can be difficult to climb back up the slope with this Sisyphean rock in front of us which risks crushing us », admits the lawyer. To begin, almost to warm up his voice, he intones the refrain of “ political trial ». « A lawsuit against a political party, a bad lawsuit against a political party, a bad lawsuit against politics “, begins the lawyer strafing requisitions “ afflictive and defamatory » and targeting the two prosecutors who requested “ infamy » for the RN. The lawyer mocks the “ magnificent skid », the « off-piste » from the floor, returning to this sentence, “ it would hurt me too much to request a release », pronounced by the prosecutor regarding one of the 46 suspicious European parliamentary assistant jobs.
