Rome, April 1 (LaPresse) – ‘I do not know the merits of the charges against Marine Le Pen, nor the reasons for such a strong decision, but I think that no one who cares about democracy can rejoice at a sentence that strikes down the leader of a major party and takes away the representation of millions of citizens’. Thus Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, commenting to Il Messaggero on the Paris court ruling that condemned Rassemblement National leader Marine Le Pen for misappropriation of public funds.
