An appeals court in Paris ruled on Tuesday regarding Marine Le Pen's eligibility to run in France's upcoming presidential election. While upholding her conviction for embezzling European Parliament funds, the court removed her immediate five-year ban on running for office, replacing it with a shorter restriction that allows her to participate in the election. However, Le Pen was sentenced to a year of house arrest, which could complicate her campaign if she chooses to wear an ankle monitor. This decision creates uncertainty around her potential candidacy, as she had previously stated she would not run while under such restrictions.
