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!
French Far-Right Leader Marine Le Pen Banned from Public Office for Five Years
- Monday, 31 March 2025
Marine Le Pen has been banned from running for public office for five years and fined €100,000 after being found guilty of embezzling EU funds. She was sentenced to four years in prison, with two suspended. The ruling means she will likely not be able to run in the 2027 presidential election unless her sentence is overturned before then. Le Pen plans to appeal against the verdict and has criticized the court's decision as a "political" one.
