Marine Le Pen, French far-right leader, has been banned from running in the 2027 presidential election due to a five-year ban on holding public office after being found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. The ruling is seen as politically explosive, dealing a significant blow to her National Rally party and its chances in the upcoming election. Le Pen was found guilty by an EU anti-fraud agency of misusing millions of euros allocated for regional development projects in southern France. The ban will last until 2027, when she is eligible to run again.
