Original Note:
Democracy is not dead — it is alive and working. In Le Pen's case, the judge is simply applying the law — a law that was passed by democratically elected representatives. The legal basis comes from the Sapin II law, aimed at promoting transparency and fighting corruption. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/03/31/france-marine-le-pen-embezzlement-guilty-verdict/
