Although Marine Le Pen can keep her seat in the French parliament during her appeal, the immediate enforcement of her ineligibility penalty means she cannot run in any election, precluding her candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, said white collar partner Thomas Amico.

The judge convicting #LePen of #embezzling #EU funds also gave her a 4-yr-#prison sentence—2 years of which are a suspended sentence & 2 which will be served under home detention. She received a €100k fine.

Le Pen will appeal, her atty said, & neither the prison sentence nor the fine will apply until appeals are exhausted. But the 5-yr ban from running for office kicks in immediately, via a so-called "provisional execution" measure requested by prosecutors.

(Chile) Anarchist Comrade Francisco Solar Comes Out of Isolation After 5 years

"After spending almost 5 years in solitary confinement, touring different maximum security modules and facing the recent hardening of the prison regime that kept him with 21 hours of confinement in the cell, without TV or radio and with restrictions on visits, today we have news regarding his situation in prison."

Today in Labor History March 29, 1935: French illegalist anarchist Clément Duval died. He was a major influence on other illegalist anarchists of the era, including members of the Bonnot Gang. In 1886, Duval robbed the mansion of a Parisian socialite. He was condemned to death, but his sentence was later commuted to hard labor on Devil's Island, French Guiana, setting for the novel Papillon. According to Paul Albert, "The story of Clement Duval was lifted and, shorn of all politics, turned into the bestseller Papillon." In a letter printed in the November 1886 issue of the anarchist paper Le Révolté, Duval famously declared: "Theft is but restitution carried out by an individual to his own benefit, being conscious of another's undue monopolization of collectively produced wealth."

Today in Labor History March 29, 1951: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed at Sing Sing in 1953. The Rosenberg’s sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol were adopted by Abel Meeropol, the composer of “Strange Fruit,” (made famous by Billie Holiday). The sons maintained their parents’ innocence. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, decoded Soviet cables showed that their father had, in fact, collaborated, but that their mother was innocent. They continued to fight for the mother’s pardon, but Obama refused to grant it. The Rosenberg’s sons were among the last students to attend the anarchist Modern School, in Lakewood, New Jersey, before it finally shut its doors in 1958.

The Modern School movement began in 1901, in Barcelona, Spain, when Francisco Ferrer opened his Escuela Moderna. It was one of the very first Spanish schools to be fully secular, co-educational, and open to all students, regardless of class. His ideas were so popular that 40 more Modern Schools opened in Barcelona in just a few years, while 80 other schools adopted his textbooks. In 1909, there were mass protests and a General Strike against Spanish intervention in Morocco. The state responded with a week of terror and repression, during which they slaughtered over 600 workers and falsely executed Ferrer as an instigator of the protests. His execution led to worldwide protests. Modern Schools started to pop up outside of Spain, inspired by his original Escuela Moderna, including 20 in the U.S.

Le Sénat entérine un « choc carcéral » pour les mineurs délinquants
Cette innovation a été opérée non seulement contre l’avis du rapporteur du texte, Francis Szpiner, pourtant encarté chez LR, mais aussi contre celui de Gérald Darmanin.
