![]() Source: Reuter By: Inez Jamie Jean- Luc Mélenchon, the leader of the main opposition for France, was seen in Paris on Thursday for his trial for charges of intimidating officials who had been investigating him because of funding irregularities. Politician France Ubowe, head of La France Insoumise (France’s judicial court), is a famous prosecutor in the court system of France. He was famous for his emotional style in court. He has stated that he would cast the trial to be as political as possible and is seeking to destroy him politically. When Mélenchon arrived to court, he said nothing. He simply waved to his supporters who had gathered outside the courthouse to see him. Mélenchon was known to dislike the French President Emmanuel Macron due to the economic policies that he had and the anti government protests. Unfortunately for Mélenchon, Macron had ended up winning the 2017 presidential election. This trial took place in 2018. It had been stated that the police officers had raided his parliament parties offices and homes. The search was conducted by the prosecutor. There is footage of Mélenchon and his group yelling at the prosecutor and officers, while his supporters tried to break into premises that was closed off for the search. He was later put on trial with seven other people, including two other members from Parliament. The prosecutors had stated that they had launched two preliminary investigations: one for the European Parliament funds and one for the irregularities that were in his presidential campaign. Other political parties were further investigated due to the misuse of European funds. This includes the national rally, the modem party, and a Macron ally. In this kind of circumstance Mélenchon must have felt awful for not paying the funds that were supposed to go to Europe's economy. Also his funding irregularities for his presidential campaign that had went on in 2017. Through the trial process is ongoing, we will eventually see what will become of Mélenchon. Will he end up getting kicked out of the political system? Or will he be granted mercy and continue on as being part of the political party of France?
