The Rassemblement National (National Rally) party in France is gearing up for a significant protest in response to Marine Le Pen's conviction in an embezzlement trial, which has barred her from future presidential runs. Under the banner 'Save Democracy', they seek to display widespread public support while leftwing and centrist parties plan separate rallies advocating for judicial integrity. Prime Minister Francois Bayrou has called for a peaceful atmosphere during the demonstrations, highlighting the current tension with threats against judges from previous political incidents. Le Pen's conviction stems from a complex embezzlement scheme involving European Parliament funds used for partisan gain.
