French far-right leader Marine Le Pen calls her conviction a “political decision” and vows not to give up after she was found guilty of embezzlement and banned from taking part in elections.
“I won’t give up,” Le Pen tells flag-waving members of her National Rally party and supporters, who packed the Place Vauban, with the glittering golden dome of the Hotel National des Invalides in the background. She calls her conviction a “political decision” and denounces a “witch hunt” against her party.
