💨 Abstract

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was convicted of misappropriation of funds and handed a five-year ban from public office, likely ending her chances of running for president in 2027. The decision has been met with strong criticism from Le Pen's supporters, as well as leaders from Italy, Russia, and Hungary, who see it as an attack on democracy.
