Marine Le Pen

For the French, the conviction of far-right leader Marine Le Pen was surprising, and no one expected such severity. That’s how the verdict against the politician, who was a frontrunner in the next presidential election, was described to CNN Prima NEWS by former Czech ambassador to France, Petr Janyška. Together with Tereza Novotná, an analyst from the EUROPEUM think tank, they agreed that the French judiciary is not afraid of politicians at all. This is also demonstrated by the trials of former prime ministers and even presidents of France.
