Marine Le Pen announced on Tuesday that she would run for president of France next year, after an appeals court reduced her sentence to make her eligible.
The Paris Court of Appeals shortened Le Pen’s ban on running for office on Tuesday, though the court mandated that she must wear an ankle bracelet during the campaign season. Le Pen was so confident that the ankle bracelet provision would be removed on appeal that she declared her candidacy for the 2027 presidential election on Tuesday.
