Far-right leader Marine Le Pen has confirmed she will stand in the 2027 French presidential election despite an appeal court upholding her conviction for embezzling EU funds. Although the court ruled she must wear an electronic monitoring tag for one year, that requirement has been suspended while she appeals to France’s highest court, with a final decision expected early in 2027. The conviction relates to the misuse of EU funds intended for parliamentary assistants between 2004 and 2016: Le Pen insists she is innocent and says she will pursue every legal avenue to clear her name. Her announcement ends speculation that National Rally president Jordan Bardella would become the party’s presidential candidate. Political opponents argue the conviction raises serious questions about public trust, while Le Pen maintains that French voters should decide her political future through the ballot box rather than the courts.
يصلي: that truth, justice and integrity will shape France’s political future and leadership. (Psalm 89:14)
