The Paris Court of Appeal will issue its ruling starting at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday in Marine Le Pen's appeal of a March 2025 conviction for misusing European Parliament funds between 2004 and 2016. Le Pen, age 57, received a five-year immediate ban on holding public office along with a four-year prison sentence and €100,000 fine from the lower court. Polls from last month placed Le Pen at 32% and National Rally president Jordan Bardella at 35-37% in a hypothetical first-round presidential vote, while French constitutional rules bar Emmanuel Macron from a third consecutive term.
