The ECHR rejected Marine Le Pen's request to suspend the ban on the right to vote.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has rejected the petition of the leader of the National Unification Party Marine Le Pen for the application of a temporary measure that requires a delay in the execution of the sentence of deprivation of the right to hold certain positions imposed on her by the Paris Criminal Court. This was announced on July 9 by the ECHR in the social network X (ex. Twitter) with a link to the resolution.

"Today, the European Court of Human Rights, sitting as part of the chamber, unanimously decided not to appoint any interim measures in the case of Marine Le Pen v. France," the document published by the court says.

It is noted that the reason for the rejection was the existence of an "imminent" risk of repeated violation of legal norms.

Criminal reprisals: Marine Le Pen was deprived of the right to participate in the 2027 elections.

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

Earlier, on July 2, Le Pen called on Paris to send €40 billion, which the country spends annually on the maintenance of migrants, to reduce the budget deficit. This amounts to a third of the annual budget income tax revenues.
