A Paris appeals court will rule on July 7 regarding Marine Le Pen's fraud case, which could impact her political future. Last year, she received a five-year ban from public office due to a fake jobs scandal involving €2.9 million in European Parliament funds. If the ruling is upheld, she may be barred from running in the 2027 presidential elections. Le Pen has indicated that her lieutenant, Jordan Bardella, might be the candidate instead. Prosecutors are seeking to maintain the ban and impose a prison sentence for Le Pen, who claims she did not intend to misappropriate funds. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
