Le Pen and Her Party Go on Trial in France on E.U. Embezzlement Charges
Briefly

The trial for Marine Le Pen and over 20 others, charged with embezzling European Parliament funds, could threaten her political ambitions as she gears up for the 2027 presidential race.
Despite serious allegations of misusing EU funds, experts believe that these charges won't significantly reduce the National Rally's support among voters distracted by pressing economic issues.
A conviction at this trial could mean up to 10 years in prison for Le Pen, but analysts suggest that the party's rise in popularity may remain largely unaffected.
Jean-Yves Camus pointed out that while this trial is significant for Le Pen personally, it may not greatly influence public perception of the National Rally amidst larger national concerns.
