Marine Le Pen and 24 of her fascist party members, including nine former members of the European parliament and their 12 parliamentary assistants, were found guilty of a vast scheme over many years to embezzle European parliament funds, by using money earmarked for European parliament assistants to instead pay party workers in France.

Judge Benedicte de Perthuis, reading the verdict of the panel of three justices, said Le Pen had been "at the heart" of the scheme. The judge said that while Le Pen and other co-defendants didn't enrich themselves personally, the embezzlement was "a democratic bypass" that deceived the parliament and voters.

The so-called fake jobs system covered parliamentary assistant contracts between 2004 and 2016, and was unprecedented in scale and duration, causing losses of €4.5m (Ā£3.8m) to European taxpayer funds.

Meanwhile Le Pen, her gang and all right-wing dickheads across the world are crying like babies for ā€˜denial of democracy’. What a bunch of hypocrites!
Obran, Trump, Milei & their ilks have proven there is less democracy once these fascists have a seat.

@MJmusicinears If I fly to EU (8hr flight) I usually pay between $800-$1200 for a round trip. 80 undocumented people to Mexico at $1,000 per person shouldn’t be $800+K !!!! It should be at the most $100K. Someone is lining their pockets with hard working taxpayers money (since rich people don’t pay taxes, or at the most just minimum) #oligarchs #stealing #taxpayersmoney
āš ļø 2025 could end up being the year of:
šŸ“‰ Less government investment in public services.
āŒ Cancellation of government schemes.
šŸšļø Increased interest rates, making mortgages and loans more expensive.

> Israel’s staunchest political and military ally is and always has been the U.S. The U.S. government has blocked, along with Israel, almost every U.N. resolution that sought a peaceful, equitable solution... It has supported almost every war that Israel has fought. When Israel attacks #Palestine, it is American missiles that smash through Palestinian homes. And every year Israel receives several billion dollars from the United States – #TaxpayersMoney.
