Medical evaluations are a routine part of French criminal proceedings, but Ms Le Pen’s response fits the party’s narrative that it is persecuted by judges as part of an establishment attempt to undermine it politically." Independent
Somehow Andrew Bolt seems to want us to believe this French court demand is exceptional when it's not and is quite a normal procedure to ensure those with a mental health condition don't wind up in jail. Andrew Bolt has in his usual form flipped what's normal and reasonable in a Democracy to conspiracy and exceptional. He's suggesting the court's motives are political when they aren't. paranoia is something common to the mentally disadvantaged. Had Bolt been charged for criminal vilification in France he too might have been asked to be evaluated given he's been found walking about declaring himself an Indigenous Australian. Had we had laws as France has Bolt might have been spared his embarrassment and one he's never been able to accept of having been found guilty.
Flipping and calling France a totalitarian state doesn't enhance Bolt's defence of Le Penn it only makes him sound madder than she is. But then that's closer to the truth in the Australian context of tolerance too.
