“What if Marine Le Pen is convicted?”
It didn’t take much for Maxime Switek to respond to this last statement. “Wait, what if Marine Le Pen is convicted?“A silence of a few seconds settled on the set. As a reminder, on September 30, the trial of the alleged fictitious assistants of the National Front (now RN) began, for which 28 people are being prosecuted, including Marine Le Pen. November 13, the prosecution requested on Wednesday five years in prison including two years subject to change and an ineligibility sentence of five years against Marine Le Pen.
Marine Le Pen under threat of a sentence of ineligibility: “The time for justice must be spared from political rhythms”
The young party president responds to the journalist: “‘If’, with ‘ifs’, there is a call“. Maxime Switek continues his question: “So that means that if Marine Le Pen is convicted, even if there is no ineligibility, if there is no provisional execution, there is no possible candidacy for Marine Le Pen?“. The president of the RN does not hear it that way and then embarks on an explanation which supports the innocence of the former leader of the party: “If at the beginning of the year, the judges decide to convict, regardless of the conviction, there will be an appeal. The call makes you whiter than white.” And if the appeal confirms the first sanction, asks the journalist. “The call will not confirm because Marine Le Pen is completely innocent“, continues Jordan Bardella. The exit of the far-right supporter sparked numerous comments in the French press.
Marine Le Pen was at the microphone of RTL France this Wednesday, November 20 and reaffirmed her “relationship of trust” with Jordan Bardella following this sequence. “We’re making a deal out of nothing at all! I don’t see what the problem is,” she commented in particular.
