💨 Abstract

A Paris court has convicted Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally, and party members for embezzling EU funds, imposing a five-year ban on her running for office. This will prevent her from standing in the 2027 elections. Le Pen has called for a mass protest, but her attacks on the "tyranny of judges" have not been well received, particularly after the lead judge received death threats.
