Orange is the new politics

Seeing politicians go to jail is like a plot twist in a bad TV drama: shocking, yet totally expected. One day they’re preaching integrity, the next, they’re in an orange jumpsuit, claiming it’s all a “political witch hunt.” Of course, they’ll serve less time than someone who stole a sandwich, but don’t worry, they’ll be back soon, rebranded and ready to run for office again. Jail time? Just another line on the résumé!

Le Pen plans to appeal against the verdict and has criticized the court's decision as a "political" one.
