💨 Abstract

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who leads polls for the 2027 presidential vote, faces a potential five-year public office ban due to an embezzlement trial. Prosecutors have sought an immediate ban, accusing Le Pen of repeated efforts to play for time in a probe dating back nearly a decade. The request has electrified French politics, with accusations of judicial overreach from Le Pen allies and criticism from mainstream politicians.
