SloveniaThe French Constitutional Council is set to decide whether Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally party, can run in the upcoming presidential election. Last year, she was convicted by a lower court of misusing European funds between 2004 and 2016, resulting in a four-year prison sentence and a five-year ban from holding political office. However, the court has decided that this sentence will be conditional, requiring her to wear an electronic ankle monitor if she does not commit any new offenses within two years. Le Pen stated she would not run for president unless the Constitutional Council overturns the ban or shortens its duration, citing concerns over freedom of movement during her campaign. Public opinion polls previously showed her leading among potential candidates with over 35% support, though she has not yet officially announced her candidacy.
