💨 Abstract

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen faces a potential ban from the 2027 presidential race due to an embezzlement trial on Monday. Accused of diverting EU funds, Le Pen and her National Rally party argue the money was used legitimately. A guilty verdict could prevent her from running, leading to political disruption. If found guilty, she could be banned from public office immediately, regardless of any appeal process.
