French's national rally leader (RN) of France, Marin Le Pen, called on a judgment to ban her for a position for five years “Witches Hunt”.
“I will not give up,” she told thousands of supporters of the flag on the spot on the spot near the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday.
On Monday, she was found guilty that she had helped to assign € 2.9 million (£ 2.5 million) from EU funds between 2004 and 2016 for use by her party. Le Pen appealed.
At the rally on Sunday, she claims that the decision is a “political decision”, adding: “We do not want to be above the law, not to be under the law.”
Bardela, the president of the pH party, told a rally on Sunday that the court's decision was “a direct attack on democracy and wound of millions of patriotic French people.”
He said he did not want to “discredit all the judges”, but claims that the decision against Le Pen was aimed at “eliminating her from the presidential race” in 2027.
In response, on Sunday, Gabriel Atal, the leader of the Central Renaissance Party of French President Emmanuel Macron, replied, saying “Stole, you pay.”
Atal also denied “unprecedented intervention” in the affairs of France, pointing to support Le Pen from several right leaders, including Italian Prime Minister Georgy Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban.
US President Donald Trump has called his sentence “very big work”.
A BFMTV survey after the decision on Monday showed that many people in France believe that justice was a service in the Le Pen case without bias – 57% according to the poll.
The Court of Appeal in Paris said on Tuesday that he should be able to propose a decision in the case until the summer of 2026 – a few months before the 2027 presidential election.
Le Pen was preparing to run for president for the fourth time and had a great chance to win.
Along with the ban on running for a public position, Le Pen also received a fine of EUR 100,000 (82,635 British pounds) and a four -year sentence, of which they will be suspended for two years.
This will not be applied until the appeal process is exhausted, which may take several years.
RN spokesman Laurent Jacobeli said that although the party would fight to have Le Pen as a candidate, his 29-year-old President Bardlla was “the most naturally legitimate” alternative.
At this stage, Bardela focused on the discussion, refusing whether he was a “plan B” of the national rally, and after the decision that the French should be “outraged” by the sentence.
However, a poll published the day before the Le Pen is condemned, it has shown that about 60% of pH voters will support Bardela over Le Pen in the presidential election if he runs out.
French President Macron has no right to uphold another term in the next presidential election.
