Let's face facts . If Trump had lost the election he was headed to jail. The idea is to prevent the nationalist from office .If the left can't win in the polls they outlaw their opponent . So use the Lavrentiy Beria solution . He said while serving Stalin ;"show me the man and I'll show you the crime. "
Trump they piled on and had him convicted for terms of 2 lifetimes . In France all they needed was one .
France has elections in 2027 . What to do with keeping Le Pen sidelined until then ?
Far-right French leader Marine Le Pen (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/marine-le-pen-far-right-leader-macron-french-president-election-rcna23814) was handed a four-year prison sentence and banned from holding public office for five years by a French court Monday, in what could be the biggest setback for her political cause in a generation.
Until this week, Le Pen had looked like the likeliest winner in France's next presidential election set for 2027, but she was found guilty Monday by a court of embezzling European Union funds (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/eu-agrees-new-aid-package-ukraine-orban-threat-rcna136706).

Far Right . likeliest winner .
Le Pen’s lawyer said she would appeal the verdict, but she will remain ineligible while she does and could therefore be ruled out of the 2027 presidential race.
And that is the point . Doesn't matter if she wins or loses the appeal . They prevent her candidacy in 2 years .
The ruling has the potential to reshape French politics, with Le Pen having spent decades turning her far-right vehicle into a mainstream and popular political force and herself into the favorite to win the country's next presidential elections, set to be fought in 2027.
Judges imposed immediate ineligibility with her conviction, meaning the ban on holding public office will now come into effect even if she appeals.
She has also been given a four-year prison sentence, of which two will be suspended. The other two can be spent with an electronic tag rather than in custody.
So the goal was not to lock her up for criminal activity . The goal was to prevent her from running in an election that she probably would win.
A recent poll (https://www.ifop.com/publication/le-barometre-de-lambition-presidentielle-vague-1/) conducted by the French Institute of Public Opinion for the French broadcaster Sud Radio found that Le Pen would, with around 42% of the vote, easily win the first round of the next presidential election.
Let's look at the tally .
