Submission statement: Relevant to next year’s presidential election in France
Seismic development in the 2027 French presidential election as three-time candidate Marine Le Pen is announcing a fourth presidential run after being cleared to run due to a shortening of her ban from office, definitely closing the door for National Rally’s president Jordan Bardella to be the far-right’s candidate.
Marine Le Pen had been sentenced to a four-year prison term and a five-year ban from office after she was convicted of embezzlement in the fake jobs scheme at the European Parliament that siphoned €3 million from the institution to fill the far-right’s party coffers. The court of appeal shortened her sentence today to a 45-month ban from office, including a 15-month incompressible ban that started on her first sentencing, allowing her to run in April 2027.
She was sentenced to a three-year prison term (two suspended), allowing her to remain out of jail but forcing her to wear an ankle monitor for the period. Having previously said she would not campaign if she was forced to wear an ankle monitor, she relented on her promise and decided to appeal a second time at the Cour de Cassation, allowing her to dispense from the device for her campaign.
Jordan Bardella, the 30 yo president of the National Rally and heir apparent to Marine Le Pen, had been groomed as her “plan B” if her ban from office were to hold. Through this decision, Le Pen dashed Bardella’s hopes to stand as candidate and will stand herself for the fourth time, after failed bids in 2012, 2017 and 2022.

friends it’s okay, this is French court working hard to stop National Rally winning okay. the only path was to torpedo Bardella’s campaign by letting Le Pen qualify to run.

Isn’t Bardella more popular than she is? Or am I misremembering?
