International Sticky Fingers

“Je suis Marine!” from Budapest shouted Viktor Orbán. With these words, the Prime Minister of Hungary expressed his support for the convict Marine Le Pen in Paris. A Hungarian politician is an educated person. In case individual forgets, Orbán thus referred to the slogan “Je suis Charlie!” – a slogan that was an expression of support for a magazine whose editors were shot by Islamists in January 2015.

Hungarian politician saw no difference between the court ruling (with the right to appeal) and the execution of innocent people with a device gun. Well, even if that difference Orbán saw, due to the fact that he is yet brilliant, for the sake of hectic and self-interest he warmed up social media.

And since Prime Minister Orbán has spoken, president Putin besides took a stand on the case with his spokesman. 1 of the more witty Russian politicians, Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Psikov, accused of "breaking democratic norms" over the Seine. It is not amazing that in the next conviction it turned out that through democracy he meant taking over by Marine Le Pen. No wonder. Finally, there is simply a politician who Moscow erstwhile supported financially well, in exchange for which she gave a favorable word to Russia's territorial expansion at the expense of her neighbours.

Crocodiles tears of populists

Of course, along with Orbán and Pieskov, many of Marine Le Pen’s comrades were inundated with crocodile tears. From the Vice Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Salvini to the Private MP, Janusz Kowalski, was criticized by the ruling of the court, which actually impedes Marine Le Pen starting in the 2027 presidential election. Not a single word has been said about the heart of the matter: millions of euros, which have been brought out of the European Parliament over the years. Salvini, another witty man, the pursuit of a thieving business called the pronouncement “war by Brussels”. I wonder if a politician himself in the name of pacifism allows himself to be robbed by Italian pickpockets?

Indeed, reading the evidence that the French press has reached is delicious. The published Euro MPs of the Marine Le Pen group show that they were gradually discovering a strategy of fictional employment contracts. Already in 2014, 1 of the Euro MPs in the news to the treasurer warned that "What Marine asks us to do is equivalent to signing fake employment contracts". He warned himself that besides many people were involved. erstwhile they're caught, they're all going to be held accountable. Another correspondence indicated that the assistants were besides afraid that they considered something they did not do as their work. And so on. Of course, no abroad marine defenders Le Pen will talk about fraud or theft. Although, who knows... Orbán's black humour or Dopkov's seems inexhaustible. In terms of wealth in their own countries at the expense of fellow citizens, gentlemen have reached the advanced level.

Marriage by Reason

The case caused the Marine Le Pen case to cover the debate about plans to sign a fresh treaty between Poland and France. The current problems of the policy only remind us of how fragile ice is building our safety in east Europe. Related to the Kremlin, Marine Le Pen was a certain thing in the presidential election of 2027. No 1 knows if a second instance court will overturn the present judgement before that date. In fact, a popular successor, Jordan Bardell, is waiting at the starting docks to run for the highest office in the 5th Republic. And it's not said he wouldn't stand a chance.

Our country is looking for a place in abroad policy between president Trump and president Putin. He wisely includes a matrimony with Paris, where politicians are inactive in charge of supporting countries threatened by Russia. But what happens next, even for a fewer years ahead – no 1 has a clue. The sign of time is that bilateral relations replace European multilateralism to date in safety matters. It is evident that the past agreements are in question, since pro-Russian Hungary and Slovakia can block 3 quarters of the Old Continent, while Donald Trump's safety guarantees depend on which leg he gets out of bed.

Writing a conviction in the criminal case of Marine Le Pen into a broader global context only reminds us that since 1989 it has not been so bad. The Chinese curse is said to be “May you live in interesting times.”
