Misleading posts on X claim that Marine Le Pen's appeal against a conviction barring her from the 2027 presidential election has been rejected. Le Pen was sentenced to a five-year ban and a four-year prison term for embezzling EU funds. The Council of State rejected her administrative challenge, but her criminal appeal is still pending. Claims that the EU is behind her ban are false, as the case is under French judiciary. Despite legal troubles, Le Pen remains popular, polling between 33-37%.
