French Presidential Hopeful Marine Le Pen's Last Ditch Effort Hinges on Court Ruling
In a last-ditch effort to revive her presidential candidacy, French far-right leader Marine Le Pen is set to make a crucial appeal in Paris, where the outcome will determine whether she can run for office in 2027. The National Rally's second-in-command, Jordan Bardella, has expressed concerns that a court ruling against Le Pen would be "deeply worrying for democracy," but his own prospects are suddenly looking more favorable.
As fate would have it, if Le Pen is barred from public office due to her conviction for misusing EU funds, her protégé Jordan Bardella stands to gain. The implications of this situation have sparked a delicate power struggle within the National Rally, with both leaders vying for control and influence.
