The global far right now has a new victim of the system. "I am Marine!" declared Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after learning of the corruption conviction of National Rally leader and far-right muse Marine Le Pen. Elon Musk told X that "when the radical left cannot win through democratic voting, it abuses the legal system to imprison its opponents"; and Matteo Salvini, from Rome, linked the corruption conviction of the French far-right leader with the ban on ultra-nationalist Calin Georgescu running in Romania's upcoming presidential elections. Even Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov condemned the sentence as "a violation of democratic norms."
