Yep - same with US court decisions (or Romanian ones). Regardless of the future politics it's good when the courts do their job. If they don't you're screwed anyway.
Honestly, Le Pen's sentencing has nothing to do with public opinion or political strategy ahead of the 2027 election. It's to do with upholding the rule of law in the face of enormous corruption, without which democracy cannot survive anyway.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Traffic on Bluesky, an X competitor, is up 500% since the election. How will they handle the surge?
Unlike other social media sites, Bluesky allows users to create their own algorithm. The site does not have ads, nor harvest data for artificial intelligence training. But it is still very small and has an unproven business record.
