France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen, convicted of embezzling European Union funds, will be able to run for president in 2027 – but with an electronic ankle monitor. The court ruled following Le Pen's appeal against the previous sentence. The court upheld the conviction but shortened her ban from public office to 15 months, ending before the elections in April 2027. However, it sentenced her to one year in prison to be served under electronic monitoring, and Le Pen recently stated that if such a restriction is imposed on her, she will refrain from running due to the difficulty of managing a campaign.
