@Vittoria@mastodon.socialFrench far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Monday slammed a "political decision" after being convicted for embezzlement and banned from standing in an election for five years with immediate effect. Ariane Bogain, a lecturer in French at the University of Northumbria, says that the far-right's harsh rhetoric against the judiciary is a political strategy to weaponize a judicial decision and make political gains.

#France far-right leader Marine #LePen was banned from running for public office for 5yrs after being convicted on Monday of #embezzlement, a political watershed that effectively ruled her out of the 2027 presidential race.
The court's ruling was a catastrophic setback for Le Pen, the #NationalRally (#RN) party chief who has long been one of the most prominent figures of #Europe’s #FarRight & is the front-runner in polls for the 2027 contest.

Good Riddance!
However Apartheid Elon might gift her a free Tesla – partly because he has trouble getting people to pay money for his SwastiCars.
Anybody who thinks that the internet doesn't remember you deserves incessant ridicule.
Not #loyal enough to #Trump? #MAGA turns on #SCOTUS judge appointed by Trump
Staunch #conservative Justice #AmyConeyBarrett was picked by Donald Trump for the #SupremeCourt. Now his fans are turning against her.
There has been anger from #FarRight personalities following a couple of recent 5-4 rulings in which she has been [one of] the deciding vote[s] against Trump's agenda.

Well worth a read!
“If You Want To Fight The Machine, Don't Move To The Right”

“Right wing ‘populism’ has been allowed to flourish by the very power structures its proponents purport to oppose, while the authentic left has been systematically dismantled by generations of aggressive imperial operations”
#Trump says that #Congress should repeal a #law that would supercharge #US manufacturing of semiconductor chips. The #CHIPS & #Science Act was signed into law by Pres #Biden & heralded as a #bipartisan victory ensuring the US would no longer rely on foreign countries to produce the chips needed in a majority of the #technology we use. Along w/ #Democrats, 24 House #Republicans voted to approve the bill. Many of them were targeted by #FarRight colleagues & #MAGA for backing a Democrat bill.
Given #Bongino's role as a #FarRight political commentator, his podcast monologues provide a unique blueprint to understanding how he might approach his role as one of the top #law enforcement ofcls in the country, w/vast powers to initiate & guide #criminal investigations. To analyze Bongino's views, NPR reviewed >1k videos posted by "The Dan Bongino Show."

Who would have thought it? Brazil is teaching the US how to deal with a far-right crook who has attempted a coup d'état: put him in jail, probably, and already made him unelectable. And it is also teaching the old continent, Europe, how to deal with the disinformation tools of the far right: block them when they break the law.
