"You won't eliminate me that easily," Marine Le Pen reacts after
Marine Le Pen

Her 2027 presidential campaign has been compromised: Marine Le Pen will not be able to run.

Le Pen was found guilty of embezzling European Parliament funds and was declared ineligible to stand for election for the next five years.

Le Pen was sentenced to four years in prison, including two years of house arrest with an electronic bracelet, and a fine of 100,000 euros, however the National Front leader will not go to jail.

A "political decision" designed to "deliberately block" her career and that in no way means the end of her political life. This is how French far-right leader Marine Le Pen described her sentence of not running for public office for five years, after she is accused of embezzling European funds for her party, the National Front.

In an interview with TF1, her first since the verdict, Le Pen claimed that "the rule of law has fallen" and, without admitting any guilt, announced that she would appeal to be able to run in the 2027 elections.

"I won't let them eliminate me easily," she emphasized.

The next French elections will be held without Macron, who defeated Le Pen in the last two elections in the second round. Two years after the presidential election, Le Pen is already emerging as the favorite in the polls, in both the first and second rounds, so today's decision against her is a strong blow that deprives her of the Presidential "dream".

Le Pen, however, has faith in the Court of Appeal, as the case is still open to appeal. She expressed on TF1 "confidence in the ability of an appeals court to analyze this case neutrally and to conclude that, in fact, we have nothing to reproach ourselves with."

Reactions have multiplied throughout the day, making it the issue of the day across Europe and much of the world. Far-right leaders and governments like Vladimir Putin's have come to Le Pen's defense, amid accusations of a "coup" by the French judiciary and an attempt to change the democratic will of the French people.

This is what figures such as Elon Musk, Viktor Orbán, Matteo Salvini and Santiago Abascal have said.

In that vein, the president of the National Front, Jordan Bardella, has called for a "peaceful popular mobilization" against the "democratic scandal." The call, according to a senior Le Pen party official, is to "save democracy."

Bardella herself has positioned herself as a backup plan for Le Pen's supporters if the "de facto" leader ultimately fails to make it.

"He is a great asset to the movement that I hope we don't have to use before it is necessary," Marine Le Pen concluded her reaction.
