Le Pen sentenced to 15-month ban from public office in EU embezzlement case
A French ​appeals court on ​July 7 upheld Marine Le Pen's conviction for misusing EU funds ​but shortened ‌her ban ⁠on running for elected office. In theory, this potentially re-opens a path for the ⁠far-right leader to run in the 2027 presidential ​race. But Le Pen is also sentenced to wearing an electronic tag for a year. She had said herself she would not run if that were the case. FRANCE 24's Catherine Norris-Trent tells us the latest from the court.
