Summary

The first round of the election, in which incumbent Emmanuel Macron is no longer allowed to stand, is for the 18th. A one-year prison sentence with an ankle shackle imposed by an appeals court is therefore provisionally not enforced. France’s right-wing politician Marine Le Pen has appealed her conviction for misappropriating EU funds.

Furthermore, Another obstacle for the right-wing national had already been removed by the appeals court. The Court of Cassation had announced that it would rule on a revision by the beginning of April at the latest and thus before the start of the presidential election. Her prison sentence will not be executed at first – so she can run the presidential election as planned.
