French far-right leader Marine Le Pen barred from seeking office for 5 years

A French court has convicted Marine Le Pen of embezzlement and barred her from seeking public office for five years — a hammer blow to the far-right leader’s presidential hopes and an earthquake for French politics. Le Pen has denounced the verdict as a “political” move aimed at preventing her from running in the 2027 presidential election and said that millions of French people “are outraged.” She described the ruling as a violation of the rule of law, said she would appeal and asked that the court proceedings take place before the 2027 campaign. She would remain ineligible to be a candidate until the appeal is decided.
