France's Le Pen says still running for president, despite embezzlement conviction confirmed

France 24 · July 07, 2026

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said Tuesday she will run for president next year after an appeals court confirmed her embezzlement conviction but shortened her ban from office. The 57-year-old, sentenced to wear an electronic monitor for one year, plans to appeal to France's highest court, which would suspend the sentence during the appeals process. Le Pen is pursuing her fourth presidential campaign despite the legal proceedings.
