European Court of Human Rights Rejects Marine Le Pen’s Appeal Against Election Ban

[Hol]

The European Court of Human Rights shut down a request from French populist leader Marine Le Pen to overide the “political death sentence” ban against her running for office for the next five years.

The Strasbourg-based court, which can be appealed to over judicial rulings within signatory states, rejected the request from former French presidential candidate and current National Assembly deputy Marine Le Pen to suspend the prohibition of her standing for office, which Paris magistrates mandated must remain in place even during the appeal process.

Of course the globalist European bureaucracy is not about to help a populist. God forbid that the will of the people be encouraged or enabled. I thank God I live in America!

So an unelected bureaucrat gets to decide who and who can't run for election? Hopefully Marine Le Pen will make this a big stink in the next French election even if she isn't on the ticket.

She could easily drive things by giving out a list of her pre approved candidates and showing up for political speeches. She is a VERY very good speaker- I've listened to her a few times and she really goes for the heartstrings of the French voter. There is a reason she is loved.
