Emmanuel Macron's second term faces turmoil marked by rapid changes in prime ministers and fierce competition from Marine Le Pen’s far-right party. Recently, Le Pen was barred from running for five years due to embezzling public funds, significantly altering France's political landscape. This ruling, expected to have financial implications for her party, emphasizes the independence of the judiciary during a time of rising populism. With Le Pen's influence curtailed, her protégé, Jordan Bardella, may take her place as the leading candidate for the National Rally ahead of the upcoming elections.
The ruling against Marine Le Pen has forcibly altered the trajectory of France's political landscape, causing profound ramifications for her party and the far-right movement.
The Paris judges' decision to exclude Le Pen from office for five years underscores the importance of judicial independence amidst rising populism and undermining of rule of law.
