Following a ruling by the Paris Court of Appeal that adjusted her eligibility, Marine Le Pen has confirmed she will run in next year\u2019s presidential election and plans to appeal further.<\/p>\n
Marine Le Pen announced she will appeal her conviction for the embezzlement of public funds to the Court of Cassation. Because this appeal suspends the immediate effects of the ruling, she confirmed she will campaign without the requirement of an electronic bracelet.<\/p>\n
Le Pen emphasized that there is no scenario in which she would not be a candidate. She described her professional relationship with National Rally president Jordan Bardella as a complementary, coherent, and solid partnership.<\/p>\n
The Paris Court of Appeal found the National Rally lawmaker guilty of misusing public funds, sentencing her to three years in prison, including one year with an electronic tag, and a 100,000-euro fine. The court reduced a previous five-year ban on holding public office to 45 months, with 30 months suspended, allowing her to stand for election.<\/p>\n
The case centers on past accusations that National Rally activists were hired as assistants in the European Parliament but performed work exclusively for the party. Le Pen has maintained her innocence throughout the proceedings.<\/p>\n
Le Pen identified Jordan Bardella as a serious candidate for the position of prime minister. She stated that the pair will soon launch their joint presidential campaign efforts.<\/p>\n
Bardella currently leads recent presidential polls, with support estimates ranging between 26 and 32 percent. Le Pen had previously declared that if the court had maintained the ban on her candidacy, she would have supported Bardella to lead the ticket.<\/p>\n
