Marine Le Pen is cleared to run for France’s presidency after a Paris appeals court shortens the disqualification tied to her embezzlement conviction, though she must wear an electronic monitoring device that could affect campaigning. Multiple outlets report that the court upholds her conviction for misusing EU funds but adjusts the length of the ban from holding elected office, allowing her in principle to enter the 2027 presidential race, which she has said she intends to pursue. The court-ordered electronic monitor, described as an ankle bracelet/tag, comes with campaign constraints because it limits her ability to travel freely. Media accounts also note the timing: the decision follows her Tuesday sentencing and the court’s determination that she has already served part of the earlier disqualification period. While some reporting highlights that the ruling aligns with polling developments, others focus on Le Pen’s declared intent to proceed despite the conditions. Across sources, the core outcome is the same: her disqualification is reduced enough to open the door to a future presidential run, but electronic monitoring remains a binding requirement under the court’s terms.
