There was no jury in this case. In France jury trials are only in "Cour d'Assises", which deals with the most serious criminal cases.

Factually you can't call her or her party "fascist", either. This is really one of those terms that is over-used to an extent that is not useful at all.

We should all identify far right with fascism. In every case they have taken control, they exercise authoritarianism to the point of removal of dissent -- which is a hallmark of fascism.

I therefore reject your claim this is improper labeling.
