Enough to make ink flow. If the court decides to follow the prosecution in its verdict – expected at the beginning of 2025 – “the former candidate for the presidential elections of 2012, 2017 and 2022 would therefore not be able to run again in 2027”recalls the Swiss daily.

Marine Le Pen – “who denies any wrongdoing”, specifies the BBC – immediately qualified the requisitions as“excess”et “accused the prosecution of wanting 'ruins' the National Rally”.
The British public broadcaster adds that “the president of the RN, Jordan Bardella, who is not involved in the trial, described the prosecution's requisitions as'attack on democracy' in a post on.
It remains that
