French far-right leader Marine Le Pen announced on Tuesday that she would run in the 2027 presidential election, following an appellate court upholding her conviction for misappropriating public funds, but reducing and lifting the ban on her running for public office, thereby restoring her eligibility as a presidential candidate. The ruling has swiftly altered Le Pen's political prospects. Previously, she had faced a five-year ban on seeking office due to the initial verdict, leading many to believe her chances of running for president again were nearly extinguished.
