flag Marine Le Pen awaits a verdict on her EU fund case, which could bar her from running in 2027.

flag Marine Le Pen's appeal trial over alleged misuse of EU funds ended on February 11, 2026, with a decision expected before summer that could determine her eligibility to run for president in 2027. flag The Paris appeals court reviewed a 2025 conviction that found Le Pen and allies guilty of diverting European Parliament funds between 2004 and 2016 by hiring aides who primarily served her National Rally party. flag She faces a five-year ban from elected office and two years of house arrest, both currently on hold. flag Le Pen denies wrongdoing, calling the case politically motivated. flag If barred, her 30-year-old protégé Jordan Bardella is poised to replace her, having gained significant support despite limited experience. flag The outcome will shape France’s political future and the far-right’s role in European democracy.
