Marine Le Pen has confirmed she intends to challenge the verdict handed down today and will run in the 2027 presidential election. Speaking to reporters, Le Pen stated that her mind remains clear that she cannot run a campaign if told to wear an electronic tag, but she repeated that she will seek to appeal that part of the verdict.
Appeal Process and Electronic Tag
Le Pen explained that the electronic tag element can be suspended by her further appeal. She emphasized that the tag requirement would hinder her ability to campaign effectively. The court's decision includes a potential electronic monitoring condition, which Le Pen argues is politically motivated.
2027 Presidential Campaign
When asked if, as of tonight, she confirms her intention to run in 2027, Le Pen affirmed her candidacy. She even announced a campaign website, asking her supporters to sign up. This move signals her determination to remain a central figure in French politics despite legal challenges.
