Marine Le Pen was convicted in an embezzlement case related to misusing parliamentary funds for party staffing between 2004 and 2016. The verdict, which included guilty findings for eight others in her party, raises questions about her political future, particularly the risk of being declared ineligible to run for the 2027 presidential elections. While the maximum sentence could be 10 years, the most pressing issue for Le Pen is immediate disqualification, which she describes as a catastrophic outcome that would disenfranchise her supporters, totaling eleven million voters.
Le Pen showed no immediate reaction as the verdict was read, with concerns looming over her political future and the possible ineligibility to run for office due to her conviction.
She labeled a possible court declaration of her ineligibility as a "political death," emphasizing how it would disenfranchise millions of voters who support her.
