CHRONIC. Marine Le Pen, Édouard Philippe and Dominique de Villepin: three presidential candidates are in the hands of judges. But not Jean-Luc Mélenchon! To believe that we want to harm him by passing him to the ace!
In these pre-presidential times, as it is accustomed to doing, justice is putting its paw in competition. Needless to say, Marine Le Pen is waiting until July 7 to find out if she will be able to run again or will have to give up her place to her runner-up Bardella. The Court of Appeal will say so, having to rule on the sentence at first instance of 4 years in prison, including 2 prison terms, and 5 years of ineligibility. Fortunately, justice is not impressed by the issue.
Three candidates in the hands of the judges
But here is a new one on the legal market: Dominique de Villepin, on whom the financial prosecutor’s office is opening an investigation for suspicion of concealment of embezzlement of public funds. Minister of Foreign Affairs between 2002 and 2004, he was offered, by an African head of state and an Italian industrialist, a statuette and a bust worth 75,000 and 50,000 euros. Having returned them in recent days, having confessed his error, which must have cost him, Villepin dismissed this affair out of hand, a nasty political manipulation based on jealousy, according to him. Fortunately, the prosecution is not content with such contrition, it will take a closer look.
And then, the last declared presidential candidate to enter the legal scene, here is Édouard Philippe, placed in the hands of an investigating judge at the request of the national financial prosecutor’s office, suspected of embezzlement of public funds, favoritism, illegal taking of interest. Mayor of Le Havre, he would have entrusted the management of the city’s Digital City to an association whose president is also his deputy, subsidizing it with more than 2 million. Already, Édouard Philippe has been questioned, his office searched, but he says he has total serenity. Fortunately, justice is not satisfied with this.
Three presidential candidates, three in the hands of judges and grappling with suspicion. And me? And me? must exclaim Jean-Luc Mélenchon, jealous of being thus considered a negligible quantity. Because it seems that no one wants him, no financial prosecutor, no investigating judge. Since 2017, he has been the target of an investigation by the European Anti-Fraud Office (Olaf) for having used two of his parliamentary assistants for the benefit of his political activity in France when he was a European MP between 2009 and 2017. A prejudice valued at 500,000 euros to the detriment of the European Parliament. Exactly the facts that Marine Le Pen is accused of, except that his investigation remains ongoing, without him having ever been heard by anyone. It’s been ten years. Ten years of ignoring it.
Mélenchon’s intimate pain
And this is the injustice done to Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Why mistreat him by ignoring him? Why consider it insignificant? As if he were a secondary candidate. As if he didn’t deserve to be put in the way as much as the others. As if he counted for nothing. Let’s recognize Jean-Luc Mélenchon for his sense, his taste, his obsession with social justice, with equality between humans, and it is on him that we inflict this discriminatory fate, humiliating to say the least. What isn’t he shouting? Why does he not demand justice for himself as for everyone?
His silence, probably, says a lot about his personal pain. Worse than all, even Bayrou, François Bayrou, who is no longer in the presidential party, has not finished with this story of the European parliamentary attachés.
He was judged, with his friends. We convicted some of them and released him. But justice does not stop there, that would be too convenient. The financial prosecutor’s office appealed his acquittal. The Court of Appeal, two and a half years later, will judge him again, from September 9 to October 5. This is a justice that stands up as Jean-Luc Mélenchon likes it. But who, obviously, doesn’t like it.
Dismissed from this judicial field where he would have done wonders, a victim mistreated by the judicial apparatus of the bourgeoisie, a revolutionary who they want to destroy by ignoring him, Mélenchon is condemned to campaign on a bleak plain. Great flights where we would hear him proclaim “the Republic is me”, « democracy, that’s me », “It’s me who is being ridiculed”this is all that justice deprives and castrates him of. He always finds, of course, something to shout about, but is his heart in it?
