How Paris appeals court ruling could upend Marine Le Pen’s 2027 presidential bid

A Paris appeals court is set to rule on Marine Le Pen's embezzlement case, which could determine her eligibility to run in France's 2027 presidential election. Le Pen, a far-right leader, faces a five-year ban on holding elected office from a 2025 conviction for misusing European Parliament funds, which she denies wrongdoing. If barred, her protégé Jordan Bardella may replace her as the National Rally party's candidate.
