WASHINGTON, March 31. /TASS/. The sentence handed down to Marine Le Pen, the head of the parliamentary faction of the French National Rally party, proves US Vice President JD Vance is right about the EU, son of the American leader Donald Trump Jr. said on X.

"France is sending Le Pen to jail and barring her from running?! Are they just trying to prove [JD Vence] was right about everything?" he wrote.

Vance, speaking at the Munich Security Conference on February 14, blasted the EU for censorship, including for blocking social networks. He said that Europe is afraid of its own voters and is useless to the United States in this form. He said that illegal migrants regularly commit crimes in the EU and advised to tighten border controls.

On Monday, a court in Paris found Le Pen guilty of embezzling EU funds and sentenced her to four years in prison, two of which she will have to wear an electronic bracelet (the remaining two years are suspended). The verdict, according to experts, means she will not be able to run for president of France in 2027. As explained by Le Figaro, Le Pen may retain her parliamentary mandate and the post of chairman of the party's faction, but she will not be able to participate in possible early elections to the National Assembly (lower house) of the French parliament.

The US State Department declined to comment.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told TASS earlier that Le Pen's verdict shows the "agony of liberal democracy."
