Le Pen is a symptom, yes, but she was not convicted for "the wrong opinions " or whatever. This trial was not political, it was not about "convincing" anyone.

She was convincted for embezzlement of EU funds. The right is free to follow the law, but alas, they choose not to. All over the world it's clear that those forces who are in favour of fascism are also the same who constantly break the law, as was the case in Romania.

For the record, I agree that the neoliberal status quo represented by traditional conservatives and social democrats needs to die, but I simply like it when crimimals get what they deserve.

Love to see it. This will restore some confidence into the system, and is medicine against hopelessness, one of the biggest weapons of the fascists.
