TIME Magazine is facing backlash for declaring that the conviction of French populist politician Marine Le Pen on a trumped up bureaucratic charge “was a good day for French democracy.”
Yes, really.
Apparently banning a front running candidate from running for office for five years and handing her a prison sentence is “good for democracy.”
It was a good day for French democracy but the far-right may still win the 2027 presidential election, writes Cole Stanglerhttps://t.co/vlexFV9Ltg

As we highlighted yesterday, this is happening all over Europe in what many are describing as a coordinated globalist effort to prevent more nationalist candidates from being elected.
Le Pen will serve two of the four year prison sentence qunder house arrest with an ankle bracelet monitor.
Why 2 years of house arrest? Is there a risk she might steal a car? The only plausible explanation is that it is to prevent her campaigning for whoever is the RN's candidate in the next elections.

Democracy does not include imprisoning the likely winner, you drooling fucking morons.

Democracy now means putting your political opponents in jail worldwide.

Removing candidates from running is totally a good day for democracy.

How is it good for democracy to imprison popular opposition?

Putting your political opponents in jail before an election is *not* repeat *not* a "good day for democracy". Its quite the opposite, actually.

Le Pen may still yet find a way to run given that the Paris Court of Appeal said it will look to decide whether to uphold or scrap the ban on her from elections by next year.
“The Paris Court of Appeal confirms having received today three appeals filed against the decision rendered on March 31, 2025, by the Paris judicial court in the case of the parliamentary assistants of the National Front. It will examine this file within a time frame which should allow a decision to be rendered in the summer of 2026,” the court said, according to Le Figaro.
In response, Le Pen said it was “very good news,” but that she intends to challenge the ruling in any way possible, including France’s Constitutional Council and the European Court of Human Rights.
“I will use all possible avenues of appeal. I won’t let it happen,” she told Le Parisien.
She has further contended that the court’s decision to impose a ban on her pursuing office while her appeal is ongoing undermines the rule of law, asserting that individuals in the appeal process are generally granted the presumption of innocence, and thus, implementing the ban at this stage disregards established legal norms.
Current polling suggests that Le Pen is almost certain to win if she runs in 2027.

Really? What is a populist? The one who wins the election? Jailing people who win elections or who even might win an election is what is bad for democracy. Time magazine is bad for journalism and democracy. It’s fortunate that no one reads it anymore.
Wow, it must be cool to be in a global position to move entire countries’ interest around the world like chess pieces while part of the chess club. Maybe the EU should not have put so much of their interest in AI to be the ultimate champ. And who didn’t know a cheap club like the UN could be bought and paid for?
Memo to Lefty Communist and their brown shirted Fascists friendame’s used as their muscle to kill stuff:
The world has seen this before. For Lefty liberals that means history.
Do we have to come over there again and kick some asses? Because if we Americans do, I guarantee Europes own people are not going to be kind to surviving traitors, and traitors won’t have anywhere to hide this time because AI has eyes.
Remember, Europeans made Mr. Guillotine famous, and they’re not happy until the head falls in the basket.
Le Pen is more controlled opposition like meloni, they are just doing a trump on her. Orban is more controlled opposition. If he was legitimate, why does he not give his people a vote on weather to stay or leave the eu. Meloni is the same and is a member of the order of the eastern star. The french have a reputation for being revolutionaries which is completely manufactured and the french revolution was organised by the jesuits and the catholic church to get rid of the monarchy and take control of the french financial system. Any monarchy that was removed from europe was anti nwo. Any existing monarchy is nwo. The uk has been under control since charles 2. Cromwell was controlled opposition too and lead the way for the control of the british financials through the formation of the bank of england. The only solution is to remove all centralised power and banks. The real people in charge are the families behind the catholic church such as the orsinis who hold the position of the grey pope. Its why the small hats wear small hats. The roman empire never ended, it metamorphosed by hijacking Christianity and took financial control. It controls all the small hat families who have been working for them for the last 2000 years.
This is what starts wars.
If the French had any balls, they would LEAVE the EU like the British did.
