Leaders from Marine Le Pen's Patriots party across EU countries rallied to her support after the French court ruling on Monday found her guilty of misappropriation of public funds and barred her from running for the next presidential elections in France.
No joint statement has been issued by Patriots.eu, the European political party to which Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) is affiliated. However, leaders from the Patriots’ parties have expressed solidarity with the RN's founder.
