Front-runner Marine Le Pen may be banned from running in 2027 after being found guilty of embezzlement.
He emerged as the most likely candidate of France’s largest far-right party for the 2027 ballot after Le Pen was found guilty of embezzlement and sentenced to an immediate five-year ban from running for public office. Le Pen and 23 other defendants were accused of misusing more than €4 million of European Parliament funds to pay people who were nominally MEP assistants but in fact worked mostly on party affairs.
Lets hope he runs on tougher punishment against criminals, right?
What a loser party.
She declared on live TV, some years ago, she thinks the punishment for embezzlement should be life-time ban from being electable. Except for her, apparently.
This party’s very essence is hate and corruption, and nothing else at all. You just have to see what RN mayors are doing is the cities they have.
Exactly.
She already is banned
It’s a shame they haven’t banned the whole shitty Poujadiste party.
She is banned but there is an appeal in place. The court’s decision on this appeal will be issued in 2026, so before the next french elections.
