I strongly disagree. For one, the people is not meant to follow their president like a god, trying to interpret their words/accents like a bible. This is what we are seeing in the US ("He did that and it seems idiotic, but in His infinite wisdom He must have a path, we're just not worthy enough to see it yet") and it is preposterous. The people should trust, among others, the judiciary. I am not personally in a position to decide whether Marine Le Pen is corrupt or not. They are, and it is their job to punish her accordingly. Of course, FN voters will be pissed and say that it was a political move. But if you do the opposite, i.e. if you do not apply the law to her because she may well win the next election, then those against her will say that the law is a joke because it does not apply to the powerful. It's okay to be pissed: nobody likes to get a fine because they were speeding. But what's important for the law is to be consistent. When the powerful are obviously above the law, maybe it's time for a good old revolution.
