Cette interdiction de contact avec le Garde des sceaux dans le cadre du contrôle judiciaire, c'est le tacle à la jugulaire le plus violent que j'aie jamais vu une cour d'appel prononcer. Un désaveu cinglant du ministre en exercice, et une belle preuve d'indépendance judiciaire.

L’Humanité du 1er avril : Marine Le Pen, mains sales, tête basse 📰 humanite.fr

@elonmusk And the second from an MEP to the RN treasurer: ‘What Marine is asking of us is tantamount to fictitious employment, we're going to get caught out,’ to which Wallerand de Saint-Just replied: ‘I think Marine knows all about that.’

@elonmusk And those magic email from Wallerand de Saint-Just, party treasurer to Marine Le Pen: ‘Expenditure is tending to get out of hand, we'll only get by if we make savingsanks to the European Parliament’.

When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world.

@visegrad24 No. The RN was convicted of embezzling 4.5 M, which is 22 times more than the Modem (Bayrou's party) 204K RN convicted for 46 contracts, Modem for 10 Modem convicted of embezzling funds for a few months, RN for 12 years MODEM stopped embezzling without intervention of court

French Prime Minister François Bayrou is accused of the exact same form of embezzlement of EU funds that Marine Le Pen was just sentenced for. The allegations are that he and his centrist political party, the Democratic Movement (MoDem), misused European Parliament funds by employing individuals in fictitious jobs as parliamentary assistants. The accusations suggest that between 2005 and 2017, these assistants were paid with EU money intended for work supporting Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), but instead, they primarily performed tasks for MoDem in France, unrelated to their official roles. The investigation began in 2017, shortly after Bayrou was appointed France’s Justice Minister by Macron. French authorities looked into whether MoDem, under Bayrou’s leadership, had systematically employed staff using EU funds—estimated initially at €1.4 million—for party work rather than legitimate parliamentary duties. Bayrou faced charges of "complicity in the embezzlement of public funds" in 2019, reflecting his role as MoDem’s president and alleged orchestrator of the scheme. The case led to his resignation as Justice Minister just a month into Macron’s presidency. In February 2024, a Paris court acquitted Bayrou, citing insufficient evidence that he personally authorized or knew of the fraudulent practices, giving him "the benefit of the doubt." However, the court convicted eight others, including five former MEPs, sentencing them to suspended prison terms and fines, and fined MoDem €350,000 (€50,000 suspended) as a legal entity. Despite Bayrou’s acquittal, the Paris prosecutor appealed the decision, arguing that evidence supported his culpability. As of March 31, 2025, a second trial looms, though no date is set.
