French Court Sentences Presidential Front Runner Marine Le Pen to 4 Years in Prison

Following the lead of their American socialist counterparts – the corrupt Democrats – the French put LePen on trial for trumped up charges driven by political foes. The only difference is, they convicted her and will imprison her. But more importantly, she won’t be able to run for President. The front runner would most likely would have won as she is against immigration and violent islamization.

The Paris court found Le Pen, the right-wing National Rally (RN) leader, guilty of misusing over €3 million in EU funds meant for parliamentary assistants, instead funneling it to pay party staff in France between 2004 and 2017. She’s been sentenced to four years in prison (two years suspended), a €100,000 fine, and—most critically—a five-year ban from running for public office, effective immediately. This bars her from the 2027 presidential election, where she’s been a frontrunner in polls (e.g., 34-37% in a recent JDD survey), unless she wins an appeal before then. She left the courtroom visibly furious before the full sentencing.

Her allies—like Hungary’s Viktor Orbán (“Je suis Marine!”) and Italy’s Matteo Salvini—call it a political hit job, while RN president Jordan Bardella decried it as an attack on French democracy. Prosecutors, though, framed it as a clear legal violation, not politics, with Judge Benedicte de Perthuis citing the “major disturbance of public order” if a convicted candidate ran. Le Pen’s appeal is almost certain, but the immediate ban—upheld by a recent Constitutional Council ruling on provisional execution—means she’s sidelined for now, shaking up France’s far-right landscape. What’s your take—curious about the case, her next move, or its impact?

This is what is happening in France:
