Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right Rassemblement National party, has been banned from holding public office for five years after a court found her guilty of embezzlement linked to 'fake jobs' in the European Parliament. The ruling prevents her from running in elections while she appeals the conviction. Although she currently serves as an MP, it remains uncertain how immediately this ban will affect her position. The verdict is significant for the future of French politics, especially with the upcoming 2027 presidential elections.
"The court found Marine Le Pen and her co-defendants guilty of embezzlement, resulting in an immediate five-year ban from holding public office, including her role as MP."},{
