Marine Le Pen says she won’t run for French president in 2027 if forced to wear an ankle bracelet during her appeal of a 2025 EU fund misuse conviction.
Marine Le Pen said she would not run for French president in 2027 if a Paris appeals court requires her to wear an electronic ankle bracelet, a condition tied to her appeal over a 2025 conviction for misusing EU funds.
The ruling found her and her party guilty of improperly using €2.9 million in European Parliament funds to pay party aides.
Le Pen denies wrongdoing, calling the case politically motivated, and says campaigning under such restrictions would be impossible.
The appeal verdict is expected by July 7, 2026.
If barred, she indicated her protégé Jordan Bardella would likely take her place.
The outcome could reshape the 2027 presidential race.
