Le Pen’s Legal Gambit | Global News
Description
Marine Le Pen’s bold political gamble: she’s appealing her conviction for misusing public funds to the highest court, buying herself a clean slate for the presidential race — but with a ticking clock. By delaying the inevitable, she avoids the stigma of a guilty verdict and dodges immediate punishment like an electronic tag. Yet, if the Court of Cassation rules against her before the election, she could be forced to wear that tag as she campaigns — a PR disaster in the making. Her legal team’s hope? A ruling after she’s elected, granting her immunity. But if the judges see this as a power play, they might speed up proceedings — leaving her in a precarious position as she tries to win the nation’s trust.
