Le Pen’s Campaign Under Legal Cloud | Europe News
Description
Marine Le Pen’s political comeback just got a twist: a year of house arrest, but with a major loophole—she can run for president in 2027 without the ankle monitor if she wins her appeal to the Cour de cassation. Already declared a candidate, she’s eyeing a prime ministerial spot for protégé Jordan Bardella, who’s polling even higher. Despite legal uncertainty and potential court-imposed restrictions, Le Pen’s popularity is surging, with Bardella’s support potentially too loyal to challenge her. On Europe, she’s pushing to slash France’s EU contributions and confront Brussels on immigration, while economically favoring state intervention and reversing pension reforms—though Bardella may soften that stance to court business interests. The National Rally’s full platform is still to come, but Le Pen remains the ultimate decision-maker steering France’s future.
