The Paris prosecutor’s office has recommended that the far-right leader Marine Le Pen and 23 members of her National Rally party stand trial over the alleged misuse of EU funds.

The request, which will be considered by judges, comes after a seven-year investigation into allegations that the party, then called the Front National, had used money destined for EU parliamentary assistants to pay staff who were instead working for the party between 2004 and 2016.

      That’s because the screaming and stampings distracts you from their hands in your pocket.

      They’re not the same but this isn’t really the best example of that. Members of “both sides” engage in corruption but only one espouses genocidal lunacy.

      What sides? There’s only one side of the law to stay within as far as I’m concerned, so let them all corrupt politicians rot in jail no matter their alignment.
