"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Le Pen is currently banned from standing for public office for five years after being found guilty in March this year of embezzling funds from the European parliament. A frontrunner in the polls for the presidency in 2027, Le Pen was among a number of National Rally (RN) party officials accused of diverting close to 3m (2.5m) of European parliament funds to pay France-based staff. Le Pen has denied the embezzlement charges and has appealed."
The Independent deploys journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, funds reporting through donations, and keeps content free by avoiding paywalls. French President Emmanuel Macron faces a fragile grip on power as Marine Le Pen's National Rally moves to clear a path for a 2027 presidential run despite a five-year ban imposed after a March conviction for embezzling European Parliament funds. RN officials are accused of diverting close to €3m to pay France-based staff. Le Pen denies the charges and has appealed; her appeal trial opens on January 13, 2026, with the court aiming for a summer 2026 ruling.
