Marine Le Pen Faces Severe Legal and Political Challenges

The far-right leader is embroiled in a trial that could end her political career and prevent her from running in 2027.

Marine Le Pen is on trial for allegedly misappropriating public funds through her party's MEP assistants.
The prosecution has requested a five-year prison sentence, a €300,000 fine, and a five-year ban on holding office for Le Pen.
Le Pen claims the trial is a political maneuver to exclude her from future elections, labeling it a 'political death sentence.'
The outcome of the trial, expected in early 2025, could prevent her from running in the 2027 presidential election.
Amidst the trial, Le Pen is also dealing with personal challenges, including her father's hospitalization.
