Getty Images/BBCMarine Le Pen is an icon of France's nationalist law: one of the most famous and most popular political figures in the country-with its first, anti-Svidance program to combat migration.
The ultimate right leaders, who are currently growing in much of Europe, look at it as a “one of the band” – even if they don't see each issue for every issue.
Many of these leaders joined the social media on Monday after Le Pen was forbidden to run for a political position for five years, accused, along with others for appropriating over $ 4 million (£ 3.1 million) from EU use in France by its national rally party.
For them, it was an opportunity not only to support Le Pen, but to use her case to emphasize what they see as their common cause – the fight against a politically traditional mainstream that seeks to muzzle or undermine their nationalist program.
But for Le Pen, this may be the death of her long -standing ambition to become a French president. She drove high in the ballot box before the next election, scheduled in two years.
She and her political assistants insist that they are innocent. They are attractive against the sentence.
In a smooth display of solidarity on Monday, the controversial Prime Minister of Hungary Victor Orban, declared in a post of X In the French “Je Suis Marine” (“I am marine”).
The populist Geert Wilders, the leader of the biggest political party in the Netherlands, published on X, he was sure that Le Pen would win his attractiveness and that she would be the next French president.
Italy Deputy Minister Mateo Salvini also undertook social media: “We are not intimidated … Full speed forward, my friend!”.
“Those who are afraid of the voters' decision often seek reassurance from the courts. In Paris, they condemned Morne Le Pen and would like to remove it from political life,” he writes.
The courts of France deny that they are politicized. They say their job is to serve justice.
But the suspicion that the court was prejudiced to block the political success of the self-applauded voice of people Le Pen-e were echoed by supporters in and outside France on Monday.
ReutersFrom Russia, even the Kremlin who came in. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, showed a sudden interest in democracy, saying that “Morne Leo's situation is a violation of democratic norms.”
In a number of European countries, national legal systems seem to be caught in the middle in a new era of deep divisions and suspicions in society – leading to a tractor of war between populist politicians and their offenders – everyone accuses the other of using the judicial system for the protection of their own political interests. France, Romania and Hungary are recent examples.
As the United States is.
Donald Trump has announced Le Pen's sentence of “very important matter”.
Speaking at the White House signing ceremony on Monday, Trump added: “(Le Pen) was banned for five years and she was the lead candidate.”
“It sounds like this country, it sounds a lot like this country.”
When faced with a number of legal challenges before the US presidential election in November, Trump attacks all participants in court cases against him, as well as in the media, whose investigative work on him he again called “illegal” last month.
But now he is again in the White House, he is accused by critics of trying to use the courts to avenge political opponents.
His troubles obviously do not harm his political resources.
Back in France is possible – whatever happens to Le Pen Politically – her party will take advantage and grow with popularity from all the media attention around Monday's sentence, the case of appeal, which will follow, and a sense of challenge among many voters of the French establishment, who think they are trying to suffocate the will.
