You are confusing something with another political system.

Since ancient Greek times, where democracy was invented, severely unlawful behaviour was always being punished by also revoking political rights: offenders would loose both the right to vote and the right to represent others or hold any kind of public office.

And all of this exactly so as to protect the democracy itself.

The court is simply applying French law. It is not going against democracy. Le pen and her party broke the law and attacked democracy.

The judges didn't invent and apply their own stuff, they applied the same law yhat appllies to everyone and punished le pen and het party within the boundaries of the law.
