*The Kremlin on Monday slammed a French court’s ruling to bar far-right leader Marine Le Pen from running for office for five year as a demonstration of Europe’s politically-motivated „violation“ of democratic norms.*
*Le Pen has long faced accusations of being too close to the Kremlin, of advancing Russian narratives and of relying on Moscow for political and financial support.*
*A French court barred her from running for office for five years after she was her convicted over a fake jobs scheme, throwing into doubt her bid to stand for president in 2027.*
*When asked about the court’s decision on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: „More and more European capitals are going down the path of violating democratic norms.“*
*[…] French President Emmanuel Macron, who defeated Le Pen in 2017 and 2022, said ahead of the latter vote: „Mrs Le Pen is financially dependent on Mr Putin and his regime and has always showed complacency towards him.“*
