US EditionFrance’s Le Pen says she won’t run in 2027 if appeal court orders her to wear an electronic bracelet
Marine Le Pen risks disqualification from the 2027 presidential race if the Paris appeals court enforces penalties linked to EU fund misuse, including an electronic bracelet.
- This month, Le Pen said she will not run if a Paris appeals court orders her to wear an electronic bracelet, warning it would prevent campaigning.
- This month, Le Pen is appealing a verdict set for July 7, 2026, that could require her to wear an electronic bracelet, with three judges reviewing her case now.
- The case centers on allegations that aides from 2004 to 2016 worked for the party, and if convicted on appeal, Le Pen could face a ban from elected office or be ordered to wear an electronic tag.
- Her potential withdrawal would allow her 30-year-old protege to run in the 2027 presidential election, if she is barred from campaigning, as she is appealing a March 2025 verdict.
- Le Pen told viewers on Wednesday evening that `I know very well that the decision regarding this candidacy isn’t mine to make`, she said on BFM TV, as a key verdict set for July 7 approaches.
