Marine le Pen condamnée pour détournement de fonds 🥳

In this week's political news roundup, Antoine Léaument covers three topics: the confirmation on appeal of Marine Le Pen's conviction for misuse of public funds, the National Assembly's adoption of a presumption of self-defense for police officers (a measure stemming from Jean-Marie Le Pen's platform), and the Riposte bill currently under review in the Assembly. Regarding Marine Le Pen's conviction, Antoine Léaument clearly explains the facts: National Rally (RN) officials used European Parliament funds not to carry out their mandates, but for partisan or even personal activities. Guilt has been established twice, first at the trial level and then on appeal. The Court of Cassation will only rule on the correct application of the law, not on the merits of the case. He dismantles the National Rally's attempt to equate this conviction with that of Jean-Luc Mélenchon: the rebellion attributed to the members of La France Insoumise during the 2018 raids has nothing to do with embezzlement, and the case is moving towards dismissal. He highlights the hypocrisy of a party that demands prison sentences for misappropriation of public funds but contests the conviction of its own leader as soon as it concerns her. Internal tensions between supporters of Le Pen and Bardella are already evident. The proposed law on the presumption of self-defense for police officers is described as extremely serious. The 2016 Cazeneuve Law had already broadened the conditions for the use of firearms, with tragic consequences in cases of refusal to comply. This new text goes even further by completely reversing the burden of proof: the police officer is now presumed to have acted in self-defense, and it is up to the victim's family to prove otherwise. This is a direct violation of Article 9 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The session in the National Assembly was particularly tense: the minister used Article 44, paragraph 2, to suppress the amendments proposed by the left, reducing the debate to half an hour. The National Rally (RN) president of the Assembly bent the rules of procedure to allow the text to be adopted. Antoine Léaument recounts the moment when, having taken to the podium to brandish the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, it was snatched from his hands by a bailiff on the orders of the presiding officer. A petition against this text had already gathered more than half a million signatures. Regarding the Riposte bill, Antoine Léaument describes it as a catch-all text of 69 articles focused on increasing penalties and multiplying fixed-penalty fines for misdemeanors, targeting motorized rodeos, fireworks, and travelers. He considers this policy of penal inflation ineffective. Partial victories were achieved in committee, and he refers viewers to a special program dedicated to the two bills, available on the La France Insoumise channel.
