Marine Le Pen ineligible : a political earthquake

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.
