Marine Le Pen, the longtime leader of France’s far-right National Rally (RN) party, will stand trial in a Paris criminal court on Monday alongside 26 others and the RN itself over alleged misappropriation of European Union funds. Coming almost a decade after initial investigations started, the trial potentially puts Le Pen at risk of being barred for up to 10 years from public office for accusations she denies. Le Pen, who has long worked to polish her party’s image, lost to Emmanuel Macron in the second round of France’s presidential election in 2017 and 2022. She is widely seen as a frontrunner in the next one in 2027.
