The globalist Macron regime has imprisoned French opposition leader Marine Le Pen and banned her from running for office.

Le Pen, who was leading the polls for the next French presidential election as the leader of the conservative National Rally, was found guilty on Monday morning of embezzling European parliament funds.

She was sentenced to a five-year ban on running for public office that will take immediate effect.

The 56-year-old was also handed a four year prison sentence, suspended for two years, as well as 100,000 euro fine.

However, she will not go to prison until she has completed the appeals process.

“Today, it’s not just Marine Le Pen who is unfairly condemned: It’s French democracy that is being executed,” said National Rally president Jordan Bardella after the verdict was handed down.

According to prosecutors, Le Pen and dozens of other National Rally staffers misappropriated $600,000 in European Union money under the false pretense that they were working as parliamentary assistants.

Before her conviction, Le Pen accused the left-wing judiciaryof working to ensure “political death” by imposing a sentence that is “completely disproportionate” for her alleged crimes that she vehemently denies.

“I have absolutely no sense of having committed the slightest irregularity, or the slightest illegal act,” she said during her trial.

Le Pen is far from the only anti-globalist European politician who has been banned from public office.

Earlier this month, courts in Romania blocked the right-wing firebrand Calin Georgescu from running in May’s presidential election.

Back in December, Georgescu topped the poll in the first round of the country’s presidential election, a result that was immediately “cancelled” by the country’s political establishment.

Over in Germany, political leaders have repeatedly argued in favor of banning the conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on the false premise that they have links to Nazism.

Despite aggressive efforts to tarnish their image, the party secured 20 percent of the vote in the recent national elections and would likely have been part of the winning coalition if other parties didn’t work to keep them out.

In Brazil, the socialist regime is also working to lock away former President Jair Bolsonaro on trumped-up insurrection charges, related to the country’s own version of January 6th protests against election fraud.

Americans, meanwhile, will never forget how Democrats and the deep state launched an aggressive lawfare campaign in a desperate attempt to remove Donald Trump from the ballot.

Fortunately, their efforts backfired spectacularly. Yet whether Le Pen can use this to her political advantage still remains to be seen.
