Marine Le Pen found guilty by a Paris court moments ago for embezzlement of EU funds.
Her sentence will be delivered within minutes.
She could both be sentenced to prison and be banned from running in the 2027 presidential elections, which polls have her winning. pic.twitter.com/WNZlX9G7sK
This kind of undemocratic nonsense is happening all over Europe—in the UK, in France, in Germany, in Romania. The leaders will do what they can to avoid giving the people what they want. Eventually, the people will answer the question posed in Langston Hughes's great poem "Raisin in the Sun." Or have they been sufficiently pacified by tech?
UPDATE: is France still a democracy?
