Snippet:
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s political future is on the line as a Paris appeals court rules on her eligibility to stand in the 2027 presidential election. If she’s barred, she would be replaced by her 30-year-old protégé Jordan Bardella, the current president of the National Rally party.
