Le Figaro/AFP with reference to the participants of the meeting reports that Macron also noted that every person on whom the sentence was sentenced to retain the right to appeal.
Prehistory:
- On March 31, the Paris Court found the guilty of Le Pen and the eight of the “National Association” in the theft of public funds in the case of fictitious assistants in the European Parliament.
- Le Pen was sentenced to two years of real term, which she can serve with an electronic bracelet, and for 5 years was banned from being elected positions – which she asked her participation in her participation in the 2027 presidential election.
- Le Pen has compared a sentence with a “nuclear bomb” and stated that she would not ask a presidential pardon and also appealed. In its defense, French law and numerous right -wing political forces in Europe, including Italy Prime Minister George Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, were spoken.
- The Paris Court of Appeal will make a decision on the appeal of Le Pen in the summer of 2026. This leaves a chance for her to still take part in a campaign if she wins an appeal.
