Is there a ban on lecture in France and Europe?
AdvertisementLast month, Marine Lu Ben, president of the French radical right -wing race memp, was convicted of the EU Fund and prevented him from contesting for political positions in France for five years, causing a political storm.
He was fined 100,000 euro and four years in prison – two of which are suspended and the other two are filled with electronic bracelets – suspended until the end of the appeal process.
However, in spite of the appeal, this does not happen by prohibiting public functions or “unworthy judgment”.
This is because this part of his punishment was “temporarily implemented” under the French law.
Currently, Lu Pen is prohibited from applying for the French presidential election in 2027. However, the Court of Appeal said that he would make a decision until summer 2026, which could lead to his release or change his punishment.
The court’s verdict raised the suspicion of the entire political spectrum. Central Prime Minister Fran ுவ ois Baru said he was “harassing” in the judgment.
But despite the appeal, is the decision to immediately use the barrier in France and Europe?
Experts say that the immediate ban on holding public positions is “rare” in France
Lu Ben was interrogated under a law called “Sapin II”, which voted in 2016, which came into effect on December 11, 2017. The law provides a ban on applying to the public office for five years for any selected employee who is considered to be improper use of public funds.
The verdict is forced to resign from the post of regional advisor to the Bass-D-Calis sector in the north of the country. However, his decree as a deputy of the National Legislative Assembly of the same region is not affected, as the French Constitutional Council is the only organization that has the power to reduce the decree of a spouse.
According to the data provided to Euronevs by the Ministry of French Justice, 16,364 “disqualification” in France was sentenced in 2023. These sentences have often taken place in recent years: a total of 1,518 has been issued in 2019.
The ratio of those who are temporarily implemented, that is, immediately, in spite of the appeal, as Lu Penn, is very low.
By 2023, only 639 (3.9%) was implemented immediately.
“The fines of the unrelenting character of Marine Lu Pen have been temporarily accomplished,” said Jean-Baptist Theory, a law professor at the University of Lorin University of Eurnevs.
In this way, the fines are “the meaning of a long foundation,” Theory said, “Based on the denial of the importance of Marine Lu Penn’s crime.”
“It is difficult to consider that the judges made an exceptional decision in this case, because the facts of the case are exceptional facts,” he explained.

Other European countries?
According to a legal fact -verified Quilum Battical, the French law, which allowed the Lu Ben to immediately use the ban, is the exception in Europe.
“France is actually exceptional in Europe, but in the rest of the world, that is, in Brazil (…), this is the” temporary execution of “in Brazil,” he told EuroNus.
By 2023, former Brazilian President Jaiir Bolsonaro received a punishment, which prevents the public office from contesting by 2030.

Can Lu Ben ban?
In spite of all this, Lu Ben may apply for the presidency in 2027, and if his appeal is successful, if the study is decidedly deciding.
A Paris Appeal Court has said that your case will be determined until next year, keeping your confidence alive.
If any irregularities are the Black Appeal Court, the Lu Ben may enter the presidential competition. This means that she has little pressure to immediately appoint an alternative candidate like her party leader Jordan Bardella.

Once the appeal process is exhausted, the judgment can be canceled by the President’s apology.
