Jordan Bardella, party leader of the French Ytterhöger Party National Collection, criticizes Monday’s judgment against Marine Le Pen and condemns the judges’ decision that she should not be allowed to stand in the next election.
The outer right politician Marine Le Pen was sentenced on Monday for fraud with EU funds and stopped from standing in the 2027 presidential election. On Tuesday, her party leader Jordan Bardella criticizes the judgment.
“Everything will be done to prevent us from coming to power,” he tells French media.
Bardella calls the judges’ decisions partly and disproportionate.
“We promise to fight to the end,” he says, criticizing what he calls “the tyranny of the judges”.
At the same time, he condemns the threats, abuses and insults that have been directed at judges involved in the case.
Le Pen has announced that she will appeal the verdict.
