TOP5 4555 Marine Le Pen condamnee en appel mais toujours en mesure de viser l Elysee

The Paris Court of Appeal upheld Marine Le Pen's conviction in the European parliamentary assistants case, while reducing her sentence. The leader of the National Rally was sentenced to one year in prison under house arrest with an electronic monitoring bracelet, two years suspended, and a 45-month ban from holding public office, 30 months of which are suspended. This reduction in the ban from holding office theoretically allows her to run in the 2027 presidential election. However, uncertainty remains regarding the execution of her sentence under electronic monitoring, which Marine Le Pen had already deemed incompatible with a presidential campaign.
