🗣️ “The witch hunt against Marine Le Pen is another example of how European leftists use human rights mechanisms to silence free speech and imprison political opponents,” Trump stated on social media.
📚 He compared Le Pen’s case to attempts to hold him accountable, accusing his opponents of “corrupt political games” and citing lawyers who “spent eight years unable to stop and lost.”
🤝 Although Trump noted that he did not personally know Le Pen, he emphasized her perseverance and long political struggle. He dismissed the charges as insignificant: “Probably just an accounting mistake.”
🇫🇷 “This is very bad for France and the great French people, regardless of political views. FREE MARINE LE PEN!” the U.S. President emphasized.
🚫 Recall that Le Pen was found guilty of the illegal use of European Parliament funds. This decision prevents her from running in the French presidential elections in 2027.
⚠️ The politician is known for her pro-Russian stance, support for putin, and criticism of military aid to Ukraine. The Kremlin openly supported Le Pen after the verdict was announced.
📅 The Paris Court of Appeal is set to review Le Pen’s appeal before the next presidential elections.
