French judiciary restricts Le Pen's movements in ruling that challenges her presidential ambitions
The French judiciary has imposed a ruling on Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right party, consisting of a 45-month disqualification from running for office, including 15 months served automatically, after she was convicted of embezzling funds from the European Parliament. Although the ruling permits her to participate in the upcoming 2027 presidential elections, the additional penalty of one year in prison with electronic monitoring may affect her chances in the race. These developments come at a time when Le Pen is considered one of the leading contenders to succeed Macron, according to opinion polls.
