"I could not believe yesterday's news about [Le Pen]. Marine, please remember we are with you in this battle! And don’t forget: being harassed by the judiciary was a crucial step towards victory for President [Trump]," Orban wrote on X. The prosecution is seeking a five-year disqualification from public office for Le Pen in connection with a case involving fictitious hiring in the European Parliament. If granted, this would bar the politician from participating in the 2027 presidential election. Le Pen could also face a five-year prison sentence, with three years suspended and the option of house arrest with an electronic bracelet for the two remaining years. The prosecution is also demanding a fine of 300,000 euros ($316,000) for Le Pen personally and a 2-million-euro fine for her party.
