Tens of thousands rally in France in support of Le Pen, as U.S. vice president blasts Paris court ruling

On April 6, a rally in support of Marine Le Pen, the former president of the French far-right party "National Rally," was held in Paris, the capital of France, with about ten thousand people attending.

Previously, the Paris court ruled that Marine Le Pen was suspected of creating false assistant positions for European parliament members and banned her from running for public office for five years.

On April 4, US Vice President Vance expressed dissatisfaction with the Paris court's ruling on Le Pen's case: "She is leading in some polls, yet they are trying to send her to prison over a trivial charge. It should be noted that this charge is not against Le Pen herself but her staff. Now, they want to lock her up and deprive her of her eligibility to run. Is this democracy?"
