Le Monde: French far-right to stage rally in support of convicted Le Pen
French far-right to stage rally in support of convicted Le Pen
Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right Rassemblement National, was convicted of embezzlement and banned from public office, potentially excluding her from the 2027 presidential election. She plans to appeal and her supporters are organizing rallies to protest the ruling, which they view as politically motivated.

The conviction has sparked significant political reactions, with some left-wing groups planning counter-rallies. U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the ruling as a "witch hunt," while French Prime Minister François Bayrou emphasized the importance of respecting judicial independence. The Paris Court of Appeal will review Le Pen's case, which could impact her political future.

GB News: EXPOSED: Boss of Britain’s ‘wokest’ council who made staff take ‘white privilege test’ - while taking home £270k pay package
EXPOSED: Boss of Britain’s ‘wokest’ council who made staff take ‘white privilege test’ - while taking home £270k pay package
Stuart Love, Chief Executive of Westminster City Council, earned a £271,430 pay package last year, making him one of the highest-paid council officials in the UK. His council has faced scrutiny for implementing a 'white privilege test' for staff as part of a diversity initiative aimed at increasing ethnic minority representation.

Critics, including Tory MP Neil O’Brien, have condemned the council's hiring practices as discriminatory. Despite the controversy, the council defends its policies as compliant with UK law and necessary for attracting talent to manage its complex responsibilities.


Times Of Israel: Settlers raid Palestinian village in southern West Bank, leave before cops arrive
Settlers raid Palestinian village in southern West Bank, leave before cops arrive
Armed settlers raided the Palestinian village of Tuba in the West Bank, aiming to intimidate locals into leaving their land. Police arrived after the settlers had departed, highlighting concerns about the lack of accountability for such incidents, which are often perceived as state-backed.

In a related incident, around 50 settlers attacked the village of Duma, injuring three Palestinians. Despite the violence, Israel's Defense Minister refrained from labeling the actions as terrorism. The West Bank has seen increased violence since the recent conflict in Gaza, with rare prosecutions for settler violence.
