French Court Cuts Le Pen's Ban, Opening a Path to 2027, but She Rejects the Terms
- A Paris appeals court upheld Marine Le Pen's conviction for misusing European Parliament funds but sharply cut the ban on her holding office, in effect clearing her to run for president in 2027.
- The catch: part of her sentence would be served under an electronic ankle monitor, a condition the far-right leader has sharply criticized, though she says she will run in 2027 regardless and keep fighting the case.
