French National Front won’t accept ‘fake jobs’ charges

France’s far-right National Front (FN) has been charged with giving party members suspected fake jobs as assistants at the European Parliament, AP reported, citing the party’s statement. FN Treasurer Wallerand de Saint-Just said the charges brought by French prosecutors on November 30 were the “natural follow-on” from charges laid against party leader Marine Le Pen in June. The party said it would not accept “unfounded judicial proceedings,” adding that they have asked for the removal of the judge in charge of the case, according to Sputnik.
