French Far Right Leader Marine Le Pen's Political Future Seriously in Doubt After Court Ruled Her Guilty of Embezzlement

Earlier today, a court in France ruled that Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's far-right Rassemblement Nationale (National Rally) was guilty of embezzlement. With that, the chances of her running for the presidency in 2027 are in serious jeopardy.

She obviously thought that the decision was ridiculous and suggested that it was politically motivated (much like Trump, who expressed indignation about the decision as well) in the United States.

As of right now, it seems like her political ambitions are dead. That remains to be seen, although that appears to be the case at the moment.
