COMMENTARY

By Robert Knight - Sunday, April 6, 2025

OPINION:


When Russian leader Vladimir Putin jails or poisons rivals or journalists or even invades a neighboring country, it’s not all that shocking.

After all, the Russian president was a high-ranking agent in the Soviet KGB and has shown little inclination to change his stripes while presiding over the kleptocracy that is modern Russia.

However, countries with actual self-governing systems are not supposed to resort to unsavory tactics. Leaders are not supposed to consolidate power by arresting opponents or crippling them with lawfare. That’s communist or banana republic stuff.

However, in several so-called democracies, conservative and populist leaders are being targeted in ways that delight global leftist elites.

Exhibit A is how the Democrats, America’s leftist party, mightily abused the legal system in multiple unsuccessful attempts to take out President
Trump.

Meanwhile, the Democrats’ socialist counterparts are waging aggressive lawfare against populist movements in several countries. In France, Marine Le Pen, who has long campaigned against that country’s growing Islamic invasion from its former colonies in North Africa, was leading the polls for the upcoming presidential election. The French are fed up with excessive immigration and “no-go zones” in Paris. In the most recent election, they gave her National Rally party a majority in Parliament.

Last week, however, a court convicted her of embezzling European parliamentary funds for her campaign. She was banned from running for office for five years and was given a four-year prison sentence with two years suspended.
