Marine Le Pen was sentenced on Monday by the Paris Criminal Court to five years’ ineligibility with immediate execution, together with a four-year prison sentence, two of which were suspended, and a fine of 100,000 euros. She will therefore be ineligible to stand for the 2027 presidential election.
The dissolution of the National Assembly is part of a carefully thought-out strategy by President Macron: to confront Marine Le Pen with the difficulties and unpopularity of power to prevent her from becoming president in 2027.
The second round of the legislative elections is rather in line with the results of the presidential election, marked by the deceptive victory of Emmanuel Macron and by a recomposition of political forces. Difficulties ahead for the President of the Republic.
With nearly 58% of the vote (according to initial estimates) Emmanuel Macron is ahead of Marine Le Pen (42%) more widely than expected. The opposition parties are already announcing the third round, on June 12 and 19, 2022.
