Not jailing him before the appeal would not be preferential treatment for someone without risk of re-offense or flight.

I read that the ruling mention that they couldn't prove the money was used for the campaign and that the conviction is all about the participation in the conspiration you mention. To be honest, what I would want to know is if he sent u

I'm not Israeli. I'm part of the rest of the world and many people where I live and many other countries have the same view as I do about the right of Israel to military action to destroy Hamas. I think there is a much widespread

No he didn't. He lost the election and as a result we don't have any government able to get a majority at the Assemblée Nationale. Which is why he should refrain from acting such a strong policy shift and what could be perceived a

You do what you want in the US, but I prefer my country to be a democracy.

It's very fortunate that they didn't change from being Israel allies to Hamas allies. However, they recognized a state while the previous position was that they would not recognize one until an agreement is found with Israel. The

No, but losing the legislative elections does. The polls just reinforce the issue.

I see it as Nazi Germany and the de-nazification process. Reconstruction and economic prosperity combined with re-education program lead by the allies occupying the different zones with a clear time-limited mandate. US occupation of Japan a

You're arguing as if the debate was about the UK formalizing its intentions to recognize a palestinian transition government that would recognize Israel. It isn't. Otherwise we would probably not have as strong a disagreement. My

Macron wants France to recognize a palestinian state as well. His party lost the last legislative elections. Polls show 78% against recognizing palestinian statehood NOW and without conditions. He is totally illegitimate in doing so. He&#x2

Do you think Israel need to destroy Hamas after October 7th? If you do, what is your magical way to destroy Hamas without killing any civilian?

You don't punish Israel by giving a victory to Hamas. You punish the next victim of terrorism after you recognized that it works to make you obey. If killing as many palestinians as possible was the intention of the Israel military, th

They are rewarding and encouraging terrorism by doing this at this very moment. Do it before October 7th and that's another subject. Do it after Hamas has surrendered and that's also another subject. They chose to do it precisely

That's plain wrong. The PLO was already there before October 7th. They didn't recognize a Palestinian statehood at that time. This is a victory for Hamas, not for the PLO. The timing is everything. Today Starmer finalized Yahya Si

Marie Antoinette was not killed because she was particularly detached but for treason after plotting against the Constitutional monarchy of 1791 along with Louis XVI and many aristocrats at the time.

It would need to be a tax on money transfer to the American counterpart. Cash repatriation or payment for IP rights comes to mind. Of course, the multinational could also use the funds to invest in Europe, build warehouse or commercial real

It is looks very similar in France and in the US to some extent. I copy a post I made somewhere in this thread as I think it can help here: Prosecutors are formally under executive control but since 2013 the justice minister should not give

That is not what MLP is saying. She said that immediate application of the ineligibility sentence in particular is politically motivated. And even more precisely, that the judges expressed this political motivation explicitly through the us

But the case is about actions that happened before 2017. I think you're mistaken on which law motivates the judges decision in this case.

by guizmo 1y ago
I think you're wrong here. A law can't be applied retroactively except if it would benefit the defendant and the RN case is about facts that happened before 2017.

But the question is still there. Are you comfortable with a Trump appointed judge having those powers?

Not sure about which law you're talking about but she couldn't have voted for a law that applied to her case as she was elected to the Assemblée Nationale in 2017. The case she has been sentenced for is about facts that happened b

It is the same in France, the courts are independent in principle, while prosecutors remain under executive control but since 2013 they should not give orders on individual cases. France has an additional layer of independence compared to t
