TL;DR

Marine Le Pen will run for president in 2027 despite a Paris appeals court ruling convicting her of embezzling funds from the European Parliament and sentencing her to one year of house arrest with an ankle monitor. She plans to appeal the verdict to a higher court, says the bracelet requirement could be lifted, and will campaign alongside National Rally leader Jordan Bardella, with polls showing her leading in the first round.
