The political future of the far right leader of the French National Assembly, Marin Le Pen, hangs in the balance with judges in Paris, who will bring their sentence in the process of misappropriation on Monday.
If found guilty, Le Pen could face 300,000 euros ($ 325,000) a fine, a prison and an immediate five-year ban on public office would prevent her from running in the 2027 presidential election.
This result would throw the powerful right wing of France into disorder at a time when Le Pen is a host of public opinion studies before the next presidential voteS
Le Pen and 24 other members of her political party, Rassemblet National, have been accused of diversion of over € 3 million ($ 3.3 million) by European parliaments for payment of staff based in France.
Le Pen and her accused deny the accusations while the party describes the process as a politically motivated witches hunt.
State prosecutors have asked Le Pen to face an immediate five -year prohibition from public office if he was found guilty, using the so -called “temporary execution” measure that would ignore any appeal process, Reuters reports. However, he notes that judges can accept, change or ignore the requests of prosecutors.
It is widely expected that Le Pen will start appeal against the sentence if found guilty.
Prior to the verdict, Le Pen said he hoped the judges in the Paris Criminal Court on Monday show a pardon.
“I expect the solution” Le Pen said in an interview with La Tribune DimanchePosted on Saturday and translated by Google.
“I read here -there we are nervous. Personally, I am not, but I understand that people may be: with temporary implementation the judges have the power of life or death over our movement. But I do not think they will go so far,” she added.
Le Pen’s process has cast a shadow on a strong renaissance for a national rally in recent years; The party won the first round of SNAP parliamentary elections Last summer before the country’s left -wing union Win the second round.
France was immersed in political chaos last year after Macron called Snap elections After suffering a severe defeat in the EU elections. The president then appointed Centralist Michel Barnier to lead the government of minority conservatives, but this turned out to be short -lived, as the government ultimately failed to receive support from the left and right for its budget plans for 2025.
The new centrist government at Francois Bairu managed to accept the budget after making discounts on the left, but remains vulnerable to political pressure from both the left and the right.
