French Appeal Court Scheduled to Rule on Le Pen's Eligibility and Conviction

A Paris appeal court is scheduled to rule on Marine Le Pen's eligibility for the 2027 presidential election and on whether her embezzlement conviction will be upheld. BBC reported that the court will decide if Le Pen can stand, a decision that could bar her from office. The New York Times added that the ruling will also determine whether the conviction is maintained, a factor that could shape the National Rally's leadership.

Le Pen warned, according to BBC, that a ruling barring her would shift her focus to supporting party heir Jordan Bardella. Observers note that the outcome could influence the party's strategy ahead of the election.
