Le Pen expressed confidence in her participation in the 2027 French presidential election6

The leader of the National Unification Party in the French Parliament, Marine Le Pen, expressed confidence that she will be able to nominate her candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. The politician stated this on May 30 on the BMFTV TV channel.

"I am convinced that I will be a candidate, because I am sure that I will be able to convince the court of my innocence in the case of parliamentary assistants," Le Pen said.

The politician added that she retains "a tiny piece of faith in justice."

How will the verdict of the leader of the French opposition affect the balance of political forces in the country

On March 31, a Paris court found Le Pen guilty of embezzling European Parliament funds in a case involving the creation of fictitious jobs. She was sentenced to four years in prison, two of which were suspended, and the rest were placed under house arrest while wearing an electronic bracelet.

Le Pen said that the verdict against her was political and aimed at preventing her from being a candidate in the French presidential election.
