In France, Marine Le Pen was banned from holding public office for five years after being convicted of embezzling EU funds. In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban welcomed Israeli leader Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, knowing Orban’s withdrawal from the ICC would shield him.
