Donald Trump, Jr. wrote on March 31 about the case of French politician Marine Le Pen on his X account. “France is sending Le Pen to jail and barring her from running?! Are they just trying to prove [JD Vance] was right about everything?” Vice President Vance, at the Munich Security Conference on February 14 had said that European leaders are afraid of their own voters, as shown in the Romanian and other cases.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also commented on the case. “Increasingly more European capitals are straying from democratic norms. While we have no intention of interfering in France’s internal affairs—and we have never done so—this remains a matter for France to resolve. Nevertheless, our observations regarding European capitals indicate a troubling trend of disregarding the boundaries of democracy in political processes,” Peskov told reporters the same day.
