Musk called Le Pen's sentence an abuse of the justice system.

The verdict of Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French parliamentary National Unification Party, represents an abuse of the justice system for political purposes. This was announced on March 31 by American entrepreneur Elon Musk on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

"When the radical left cannot win a democratic vote, they abuse the justice system to put their opponents in jail," he wrote.

Musk emphasized that radical leftists all over the world use the same methods.

Democracy in agony: Marine Le Pen was sentenced to four years in prison.

She will not go to prison, but she will not be able to participate in the elections in 2027.

Earlier in the day, Le Pen was sentenced to four years in prison and five years in prison. It clarifies that the sentence must be executed "immediately." She is accused of embezzlement of public funds.

A member of the Berlin Senate, Gunnar Lindemann, in an interview with Izvestia, commenting on the verdict, said that the decision indicates that the European Union is approaching dictatorship. According to him, real democratic standards look completely different.
