In a calligraphy decision, the magistrates accused Le Pen of ‘undermining democracy’.

This is the enrichment of the party, the destruction of the rules regulating the political party financing and therefore the destruction of democracy. ‘
Le Pen and other defendants rejected injustice during the nine -week hearing at the end of 2024, and claim that it was tried as a ‘political target’. The defendants also claimed that the money was used legitimate.

“ There are 11 million people who vote for the movement I represent. So tomorrow, potentially, millions and millions of French will see that they deprive them of candidates in the election, ” he said.
Following the hearing last year, the current French Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin said that Le Pen would be ‘deeply shocking’ if it was banned from the elections.
He also refused to commit ‘the slightest irregularity’.
The 29 -year -old Lieutenant and Proteini Jordan Bardella, the RN Party chief, were not among the defendants at the hearing, and at the same time, Marine is also seen as a potential presidential contestant who had to fall.

However, evaluating the consequences of imposing such a ban and the decision is ‘proportional’ and ‘considering the’ protection of voters ‘freedom’ is also dependent on judges.
The Constitutional Council submitted its decision in a separate case without a direct connection of Le Pen.
However, the results were examined because they provide legal guidance that judges will take into account.
The Constitutional Council also underlined that the court could decide not to bring almost any period of conformity. In this case, the ban would continue to wait.
For more than a decade, Le Pen has worked to make his party more mainstream and fueled the error of extremism to expand his attractiveness to voters.
After being third in the 2012 Presidential polls, Marine Le Pen made the flow in 2017 and 2022, but was beaten by Emmanuel Macron in both cases.

Le Pen’s life was ultimately marked with the legacy of his open racist father, who was the veteran of the long war in Algeria, which led to the independence of the former French colony.
In 2011, Le Pen took over the leadership of the National Front (FN) from his father Jean-Marie, who founded France’s main right-wing movement.
He moved away from his father’s legacy, who made anti-Semitic and racist statements, renamed the party as a national rally (rn) and began a policy he called ‘saidabolisation’ (‘demonization’).
The study was carrying fruit in Snap legislative surveys last summer, RN appeared as the largest party in the National Assembly, but aims without the open majority.
This later, Prime Minister Michel Barnier supported an unprecedented power of French politics, which he used by supporting an insecure vote that overthrew the government.
Critics still accuse the party of naturally being racist, take too long to get away from Russia and resort to corrupted tactics to alleviate tense financing.
However, Le Pen plays on daily concerns about the cost of migration and life of people, and is seen as the best chance to win the French presidency in 2027 after three unsuccessful initiatives.
