Marine Le Pen speaks for first time after being barred from French presidential election

  • Marine Le Pen plans to appeal her conviction that bans her from competing in France's next presidential election after receiving a two-year prison sentence with a one-year suspension and a €100,000 fine for misusing EU resources.
  • The ban on running for public office is immediate and will last for five years, but other penalties will activate after Le Pen's appeals are finished.
  • Le Pen criticized the ruling as politically motivated, claiming that there are millions of French people who believe in her.
  • The allegations against Le Pen involve diverting close to €3 million of European Parliament funds meant for assistants to pay party staff, as revealed by the prosecution.
