Paris appeals court to rule on Le Pen case that could end her 2027 presidential bid

A Paris appeals court will deliver its verdict on Tuesday in the criminal case against Marine Le Pen, which will determine whether the National Rally leader can stand in the 2027 presidential election. A lower court previously sentenced her to a ban on holding public office. If the appeal upholds the ruling, her long-standing ambitions to reach the Élysée Palace could be permanently dashed.
