💨 Abstract

A Paris court has announced three appeals against the conviction of Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's far-right National Rally party, for embezzling EU funds. The appeals court will rule on the appeals in the summer of 2026. The lower court imposed a five-year ban on Le Pen running for office, effective immediately, which would bar her from the 2027 presidential election unless the ruling is overturned on appeal.
