French court clears way for far-right leader Le Pen to run in 2027, with ankle bracelet
A French appeal court upheld Marine Le Pen's conviction for embezzling EU funds but reduced her public office ban, potentially allowing her to run in the 2027 presidential election. She received a three-year sentence with two suspended years and one year via an ankle bracelet and is set to give a TV interview where she may announce her political future.
