France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen has called her conviction a “political decision” and promised to keep going after she was found guilty of embezzlement and banned from taking part in elections, including the 2027 presidential vote.
“I won’t give up,” Le Pen told flag-waving members of her National Rally party and supporters who packed the Place Vauban in Paris on Sunday with the glittering golden dome of the Hotel National des Invalides in the background.
