Le Pen has one last chance to win power in France – can she do it with an ankle tag?
- Marine Le Pen is set to run in next year’s French presidential election after challenging an embezzlement conviction that had blocked her fourth attempt at office.
- The leader of the far-right National Rally (RN) party, 57, was cleared to run for office on Tuesday as the Paris appeals court upheld her conviction but shortened an electoral ban.
- And despite having to wear a ankle bracelet into the next ten months of campaigning, Le Pen said there was no longer any scenario in which she would not run.
