Marine Le Pen was deprived of parliamentary immunity

On Thursday, the European Parliament voted for deprivation of France’s presidential candidate Marine Le Pen‘s parliamentary immunity .

In France, the investigation was opened due to the fact that she posted several photos, showing scenes of violent acts, committed by terrorists of the Islamic State (IS) group, on her Twitter account.

A source in the parliamentary faction of Le Pen claimed that in raising the question of withdrawal of parliamentary immunity before the presidential elections in France, there is no “surprise”. Also, the source added that “on the eve of elections, opponents are being more active.”

February 28 the European Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs by an overwhelming majority voted for deprivation of inviolability of the French National Front party leader and head of the parliamentary faction of the Europe of nations and freedom of Marine Le Pen.
