French PM Bayrou Slams Trump’s ‘Free Le Pen’ Call as Political Interference in National Affairs

French PM Francois Bayrou has called out Donald Trump for interfering in France’s domestic affairs after the former US president urged Paris to “free” Marine Le Pen. Le Pen, convicted for misusing EU funds, was sentenced to four years in prison and banned from office. Trump labeled her a victim of political persecution. Bayrou warned of rising “illiberal” forces undermining democracy worldwide. As tensions rise, Trump’s remarks have sparked diplomatic unease ahead of France’s 2027 presidential race and fueled debates over foreign influence in sovereign judicial decisions. #Trump #MarineLePen #FrancePolitics #FrenchPM #Bayrou #PoliticalInterference #TruthSocial #EUFunds #RightWing #LePenVerdict #WitchHuntClaims #USFranceTensions #FreeLePen #DemocracyDebate #RuleOfLaw #ParisCourt #ElectionBan #2027Elections #TrumpInEurope #NationalRally Also Read White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Signals Break From Globalisation Amid Trump's Tariff War: ‘We Need Different Path' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-signals-break-from-globalisation-amid-trumps-tariff-war-we-need-different-path-4116069.html?ref=DMDesc Protesters Rally Against President Trump, Musk In 'Hands Off!'

'Marine Le Pen Witch Hunt': Furious Trump Warns Emmanuel Macron Over Far-Right Leader's Arrest

Trump has come out strongly in defense of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen after a Paris court barred her from holding political office for five years. Trump accused European leftists of using “lawfare” to silence opposition, calling the conviction a “witch hunt.” The court found Le Pen guilty of misusing EU funds, a charge she denies as politically motivated. Trump warned the move was “bad for France” and an attack on free speech. Le Pen can no longer challenge Macron in the 2027 French presidential elections. #Trump #MarineLePen #FrancePolitics #FreeSpeech #Lawfare #LePenBan #EmmanuelMacron #2027Elections #ParisCourt #EuropeanUnion #RightWing #ConservativePolitics #PoliticalOppression #TrumpOnLePen #TruthSocial #EmbezzlementCase #MacronVsLePen #FrenchPolitics #WitchHunt #SpeechSuppression Also Read Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Visits Kennedy Center to Shape the Future of National Arts and Culture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-visit-kennedy-center-arts-institution-011-4097567.html?ref=DMDesc Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney Engages with European Allies Amid Trump's Economic Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/canada-carney-meets-european-allies-trump-targets-sovereignty-economy-011-4097563.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Bannon’s ‘Nazi’ Salute At CPAC 2025 Spark Outrage As French Far-Right Leader Bardella Cancels Speech

At CPAC 2025, Steve Bannon sparked controversy with a gesture resembling a Nazi salute, drawing backlash from the Anti-Defamation League and far-right figures. French National Rally leader Jordan Bardella canceled his speech, citing Bannon’s “allusion to Nazi ideology.” While Bannon dismissed the claim, saying it was a simple wave, critics remain unconvinced. The incident underscores growing divides within the global right and CPAC’s shift towards a Trump-centric rally, with discussions also revolving around Musk’s controversial presence and the 2028 election. #CPAC2025 #SteveBannon #BannonSalute #Trump #FarRight #CPACControversy #JordanBardella #NaziSalute #Politics #MAGA #BannonCPAC #USPolitics #ADL #ConservativePolitics #BannonSpeech #CPACNews #BannonTrump #Musk #Trump2028 #BardellaCPAC ~HT.178~
