Sorry, but trying to understand the issue here. Seems like a nothing burger.

"Le Pen appeared self-confident and determined in court, stating in a loud voice: “I’m telling you very clearly: I absolutely don’t feel I have committed the slightest irregularity, the slightest illegal move.”

The National Rally and 25 of its top officials went on trial last month for having used money intended for EU parliamentary aides instead to pay staff who worked for the party between 2004 and 2016, in violation of the 27-nation bloc’s regulations. The National Rally was called the National Front at the time."

I am no fan of hers, but don't get it.

No surprises there...

We recently had our own little scandal with the extreme right... Apparently the top dogs were on China's pay roll.

Corrupt dogs, the lot of them.
