"Marine Le Pen's Political Future at Stake as Court Decides on Election Ban"
Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s far-right National Rally (RN), faces a critical ruling on Monday, as a judge will decide whether she should be banned from the 2027 presidential election. This stems from a trial over alleged misuse of EU funds to pay party salaries. The prosecutor recommended both a €300,000 fine and a prison sentence for Le Pen, alongside a five-year ban from public office, with the ban taking effect immediately if convicted.
The outcome is seen as crucial for Le Pen’s political future, with some arguing that preventing her from running could undermine democracy. Many commentators fear that giving judges the power to decide who can stand for election could have dangerous consequences for France’s democratic process. Le Pen remains confident that the court won't go as far as to block her candidacy.
