The French far-right leader Marine Le Pen faces a make-or-break court ruling on Tuesday that could pave the way for her to lead the anti-immigration National Rally (RN) party into next year’s presidential race.
Le Pen, 57, is seeking to overturn the five-year ban from public office and a four-year jail sentence for embezzling funds from the European parliament, handed down by a French court in 2025.
