Marine Le Pen is the frontrunner for France's presidential elections – but after a judge sentenced her to a 5-year ban from politics, she may be barred from running at all. If a judge can bar a leading candidate from running, is their country really a democracy? On Monday, a French court sentenced Marine Le Pen to a 5-year political ban, finding her guilty of embezzling EU funds for her National Rally party. The immediate ban, upheld during appeals, will reportedly block her from the 2027 presidential race. Le Pen called the ruling ‘authoritarian' and claimed it violates the rule of law, and has vowed to fight the ruling. According to CNN, “The court's presiding judge, Bénédicte de Perthuis, said Le Pen's actions amounted to a “serious and lasting attack on the rules of democratic life in Europe, but especially in France.”” Jerome Riviere is a French politician, lawyer, and entrepreneur. He served as a Member of the French Parliament for Alpes-Maritimes from 2002 to 2007 and later joined the National Rally, becoming a Member of the European Parliament in 2019. He led the French delegation of the Identity and Democracy group until 2022, when he supported Éric Zemmour's Reconquête party as Vice-President, leaving in 2023.

In 1979, French journalist Claude Angeli and his colleagues discovered Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, the French President, received gifts of diamonds worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from the grisly and deposed former Emperor Bokassa of the Central African Republic. The scandal damaged Giscard d'Estaing's reputation and contributed to him losing the French Presidential election in 1981. Ben Henderson speaks to Claude Angeli.

People, Planet, and Profit with Benoît Sauvage We are delighted to be speaking with Benoît Sauvage today! Benoît is an international entrepreneur who has worked for French presidents! He owns a DMC and consults on sustainability. Benoît has some interesting insights for us today! We talk about the DMC and sustainability, and Benoît shares some intriguing information and what he has learned from his unique experiences.  We hope you enjoy listening to our fascinating conversation with Benoît Sauvage today! Bio: Benoît Sauvage, DMCP, CMP, CITP is the founder and CEO of Connect DMC, a leading Destination Management Company in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, as well as the founder and CEO of Hospitality Sustainability Revolution (HSR), a leading consulting firm for hospitality stakeholders worldwide.  Ben was born in Paris, France, and has lived and worked on 3 continents over the years. He brings 25 years of experience in delivering high-end and complex services as a destination expert to worldwide clients and has a passion for creativity, attention to detail, and sustainable practices. Organizing travel and meetings for presidents Benoît's dad worked for the French Presidential and Prime Ministerial press for twenty-five years, arranging all their overseas trips. He was involved with some of the world's highest decision-makers. As a young man, Benoît got given the chance to join him, to organize all the French Presidential and Prime Ministerial official State Travels. Benoît learned most of what he knows from his father. He loved having the opportunity to collaborate with him. A revelation It was a revelation for Benoît to discover that decisions that can impact the world sometimes get made over a cup of coffee or a drink. It is all about humans doing business with humans. In the end, it all boils down to humans sitting down together to find the best solutions for their country and the world.  The human approach Benoît tries to apply the same human approach in his company and in all his collaborations. Mexico Benoît could have followed the same path as his dad, but he wanted to do something on his own. He had some great memories of backpacking in Mexico during a summer break, so he decided to move there. He left a month later with one bag and a thousand dollars in his bank account. After arriving in Mexico, he contacted someone he knew who owned a trans-global vacation company, and they gave him a job.  His destination When Benoît arrived back in France, the owner of the trans-global company contacted him to offer him a destination of his own. He accepted before even knowing it was in the Dominican Republic! Establishing himself in the Dominican Republic After that, Benoît worked in Africa, Sri Lanka, Spain, and various other countries before he finally established himself in the Dominican Republic twenty-three years ago and opened Connect DMC.  Covid Most people want to know if and when Covid will stop.  Overcoming challenges Benoît advises everyone to be resilient when facing challenges in life and trust that this too shall pass.  Classify your challenges Classify your challenges each day and determine which one is most important. Go through that challenge, resolve it, and move on. Then tackle the next challenge.  Know your company Get to know yourself and everything about your company. Make sure everyone you collaborate with shares the same values and culture you want to implement in your company and consider the value you bring to others within your organization. Company culture You spend more time at your company than you do at home. So your business has to be a happy place where you can express yourself, grow as an individual, and grow your career.  Connect DMC's recruitment process The Director of Human Resources at Connect DMC contacts all the candidates that could be a good fit for the company to find out if they are available, what they need, where they are in their career, how they want to grow, and where they want to be. Then, the supervisor that the candidate would report to will interview the candidate and narrow it down to three of the best candidates. Then Benoît makes the final call. When they hire someone, they train them well, which usually ensures that they stay with the company for a long time.  A family-owned company Connect DMC is a family-owned company, and they are very flexible. All their employees have to have similar views and share the same culture.  Demonstrating your value To demonstrate your value, know yourself and your culture and find simple ways to express that to your clients. Unique experiences  Connect DMC is known for having destinations that are not easy to operate. Reliable transportation is easy to find, but Connect DMC is everything before, after, and in between. They are about creativity, uniqueness, and using the right talents for their client's needs, goals, and objectives. They create experiences that people could never find anywhere else.  Things that set you apart from the rest Anyone can make a promise, but what truly matters, and sets you apart from the rest, is how you deliver, how well you run your operation, and whether you can foresee something that might happen before it happens. It is vital to ensure that your clients are always satisfied. If they are not, you must correct the problem immediately.  Sustainability Sustainability is not only about caring for the environment. It is also caring about communities, collaborators, and attendees. Connect DMC's involvement with local communities sets them apart from all other DMCs. Sustainability in the meetings and events industry The industry has a three-pillar approach to sustainability:  People Planet Profit To avoid failure, you need to concentrate on sustainability from environmental, societal, and economic aspects. Benoît's journey into sustainability Benoît got involved with sustainability seven years ago after thinking about the kind of world he would leave for his sons. After spending seven years learning about sustainability, he wanted to share his knowledge with those around him, so he began speaking about it in the hospitality industry. Since then, he has constantly been showing up wherever there is a need for speeches on sustainability. Space travel Lately, Benoît has developed a passion for space travel and the conquest of Mars.  Hospitality Sustainability Revolution About two years ago, Benoît opened Hospitality Sustainability Revolution, a consulting company on sustainability. One of their clients is a famous travel to space company. That opened his eyes to how easily the solutions found for the conquest of Mars and the International Space Station could also resolve many of the issues we currently face around food, water, and waste management. Some simple steps business owners can implement for sustainability Do not greenwash! Greenwashing is the enemy of sustainability. Reduce the impact of carbon emissions by sharing transportation. Switch off lights and computers at night. Reduce the amount of waste you produce. Finding solutions as an industry We must step away from fear and learn to sit down together as an industry and embrace the industry and sustainability together to find solutions when challenges arise. For face-to-face experiences, we need to make sure that we can gather the data, reduce the emissions, and compensate for whatever we cannot reduce.

Emanuel Macron has won France's presidential election, fending off a historic challenge from far-right candidate Marine Le Pen last Sunday. Macron took 58.5% of Sunday's vote, making him the first French leader to be re-elected in 20 years. What impact will the results have on national and international policy? How did markets react on the surprisingly comfortable outcome for Macron?  What is the impact on the Euro in the short and medium term? Will the French never elect a far-right president? And is Macron the new strong leader in the European Union? Find out more in this episode with our Julius Baer experts Sacha Walker, Head of Strategy & Business Operations Asia Pacific and Mathieu Racheter, Head of Equity Strategy at Julius Baer in Zurich.

Philippe Lemoine returns to the CSPI Podcast to discuss his prediction for the 2022 French Presidential election. This episode was recorded on April 22nd, two days before Macron's victory on April 24th, because Philippe was so confident in his forecast that he didn't think it was necessary to wait until after the election to discuss the results.  He and Richard talk about the differences between French and American politics, right-wing ideology in France, class and age as predictors of voting for conservative candidates, and why Éric Zemmour's campaign failed. They also discuss how best to think about the behavior of low information voters, why the far right doesn't win French presidential elections despite strong anti-immigration sentiment among the public, and how people who criticize the Islamic veil are actually being PC. Philippe explains why Le Pen staying in politics means the Right can never win the French presidency, and the two conclude by discussing what to expect from Macron over the next five years. A transcript of some of the best parts of the conversation is available here.

Today on Sojourner Truth the French Presidential Election will take place this Sunday. In response, on Monday, several dozen undocumented migrants, known as sans-papiers, and their supporters took over unoccupied apartments in the 9th arrondissement section of Paris to demand rights for all, citing the right to adequate housing and the plight of the undocumented migrant as two issues that have been absent in the French Presidential campaign. Protestors from the collective Chapel du vous, are using one of the occupied apartments as an embassy for immigrants, calling on the example of Ukrainian refugees who in a matter of weeks, had access to a system to facilitate accommodation, documents and free access to transportation. Activist and expatriate Benoit Martin joins us from France to discuss these protests and the forthcoming French Presidential Election. A recent rain bomb struck South Africa, killing and injuring thousands. We discuss this climate change catastrophe with ecologist and organizer Desmond D'Sa, for our weekly Earth Watch segment. We will also hear about the recent decision by the President Biden administration to resume oil and gas drilling on public lands, being condemned as a reckless failure of climate leadership. Lastly, as the month of April wraps up, we honor national poetry month with Boyle Heights-based poet Ron Baca.

Less than two weeks before the crucial French run-off election between President Emmanuel Macron and his far-right rival Marine Le Pen, Le Pen revealed on Tuesday that if she wins the presidency on April 24, she would not block a Brexit-style referendum on whether France should pull out of the European Union—a decision that would radically reshape Europe, with dramatic ramifications across the world.

Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen are moving through to the run-off of the French presidential election. But results also show that a third of French voters opted for far-right candidates. Plus: Just Stop Oil block depots across the country and Extinction Rebellion disrupt London. With Barnaby Raine and Ash Sarkar.

The first round of voting in the French Presidential elections has taken place. So far no results are confirmed, but exit polls strongly suggest that the far right candidate Marine Le Pen will face the incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, in the next round. Ms Le Pen has previously advocated France leaving the EU and ditching the Euro in favour of a return to the Franc. Her position on this has softened in recent years, but the possibility of a Le Pen win could still signal a big change of direction for French economic policy. Western tech companies don't always find operating in Russia easy. This has become even more true since the Ukrainian invasion, as a combination of sanctions against Moscow and restrictions by the Kremlin have limited who can trade there and what they can do. Even before the current conflict there were difficulties, though. Last year an app which helped people to vote tactically in Russian elections was removed from Apple and Google's platforms, after staff working in the country were threatened with criminal charges. Apple have just reinstated it, several months later. We've been finding out more.

The first round of voting in the French Presidential elections has taken place. So far no results are confirmed, but exit polls strongly suggest that the far right candidate Marine Le Pen will face the incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, in the next round. Ms Le Pen has previously advocated France leaving the EU and ditching the Euro in favour of a return to the Franc. Her position on this has softened in recent years, but the possibility of a Le Pen win could still signal a big change of direction for French economic policy.
