Far-right politician Marion Maréchal, a European Parliament lawmaker and Marine Le Pen’s niece, just accused judges for “thinking about themselves as above the … people” and claimed that Le Pen was only found guilty because she was on course to lead the nationalists to victory.

 

Here is her post in full:

 

For decades, the national camp and our family have suffered every blow, every attack, every injustice. Judges, thinking of themselves as above the sovereign people, have decided to execute in a court of law the woman they were never able to force back at the ballot box.

 

@MLP_officiel led our side on the path to victory. This is her only culpability, and that is why she is condemned. No one on the right should pretend to be satisfied with this judgment. There was François Fillon before, Marine Le Pen today. Who will be next? I am more than ever by Marine’s side at this time.

Le Pen ruling 'bad film' and 'declaration of war by Brussels,' Italy's Salvini says

Another Le Pen ally, Italy’s deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini, has just offered his reaction to the court’s decision too.

 

In a social media post, he said:

 

Those who fear the judgment of the voters often find reassurance in the judgment of the courts.

 

In Paris they condemned Marine Le Pen and would like to exclude her from political life. A bad film that we are also seeing in other countries such as Romania.

 

The one against @MLP_officiel is a declaration of war by Brussels, at a time when the warlike impulses of von der Leyen and Macron are frightening.

 

We will not be intimidated, we will not stop: full speed ahead my friend!

The Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders joins Hungary’s Orbán and Italy’s Salvini as he issues a critical reaction to the ruling against Le Pen.

 

He says:

 

I am shocked by the incredible [sic!] tough verdict against @MLP_officiel. I support and believe in her for the full 100% and I trust she will win the appeal and become President of France.
