Le Pen Vows to Challenge Conviction as France's Parties Engage in Rival Rallies
ai generated text
Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French far-right National Rally party, has maintained her defiance in the face of her recent conviction for embezzling European Parliament funds. She has claimed that the ruling was politically motivated and has vowed not to give up, labeling the conviction a "witch-hunt" against her party.
It's about defending the rule of law from people who think justice is optional. For everyone else, she wants tough justice, tolerance zero, jail for the first offence. For her, it's too tough.
It is a violent party that even threatens judges when decisions taken by the courts do not suit them.
The far-right is a dangerous party, dangerous for democracy and dangerous for the rule of law.
This is not a judicial decision, it's a political decision.
It is we who are the most ardent defenders of the rule of law.
We intend to invite all French people enamoured of liberty to join us in a peaceful, democratic, popular and patriotic resistance.
It is the civil rights of the French people that are being called into question today.
We will follow the example of Martin Luther King, who defended civil rights.
This decision has trampled on everything I hold most dear: my people, my country and my honour.
It is our responsibility to always stick to the facts.
The National Rally demands a firm line for everyone except itself. How can you be credible with a juvenile delinquent if politicians don't respect the rules? If you steal, you must pay for it.
We, here, will never disqualify a court decision.
Thank you, Marine, we don't want to take up any more of your time.
