Absolutely correct take by Tarik. It is quite insane that this is not a consensus position among liberal democrats.

For the @economist.com, I wrote about the Le Pen verdict. In liberal democracies, the law needs to be applied even if that strengthens the far right. But here, we should not just assume that this will help the RN. On the contrary. It's a good moment for democracy.
