A French appeals court has upheld Marine Le Pen’s conviction for misusing EU funds but shortened her ban on running for elected office. This ruling may potentially allow the far-right leader to run in the 2027 presidential race.
Details of the Ruling
Although the court shortened Le Pen’s ban, it ordered her to serve a three-year jail term, with two years suspended. Additionally, she must wear an electronic ankle tag for one year, which could make a presidential campaign logistically challenging.
