The French Legal Experience Podcast | Crossover with the Royal Palace
Sacre Bleu: The French Presidential Election Podcast.Show Notes
We go deep on Marine Le Pen’s conviction, and discuss the byzantine byways of the French legal system in this crossover episode with Liam & Patrick from the Royal Palace Podcast.
We get into the case against Le Pen, her party, and her eurodeputies, who were convicted on charges of embezzlement. We also get into the legality of her ineligibility penalty, and just how the French appeals process works. Is this lawfare? (It depends on how you describe it).
All this and more on today’s episode of Flep24/7.
To hear more from Liam & Patrick, check out the Royal Palace Podcast over at their website, or wherever you download podcasts from.
