If Putin did this, what would we say?
The right place for the blame are the lawmakers who made laws with sentences like "5 year ban for running for public office." For example in Finland in principle you could try to apply while sitting in prison, if you gather needed popularity. This is not EU wide issue.
in Russia everyone is corrupt, and the laws are arbitrarily used only against opponents.
If France is in such state (even with proof, "good guys" are not investigated while "bad guys" are), they have huge problems.
Or do we nowdays think that if someone is popular enough, they should be above the law?
