00:01French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said that the decision to run for the 2027 presidential election doesn't depend
00:09on her will, but is in the hands of three judges.
00:12Je suis pas fatali, je sais très bien que la décision de cette candidature ne dépend pas de moi. Elle
00:18dépend aujourd'hui de trois magistrats qui décideront si oui ou non les millions de français qui veulent voter pour
00:25moi pourront le faire ou pas.
00:27If the court follows the lower court's ruling that sentenced her to wear an electronic tag, she won't be able
00:33to campaign, she said.
00:36On ne peut pas faire campagne dans ces conditions. Enfin, vous pouvez faire campagne sans aller le soir rencontrer vos
00:41électeurs dans des meetings, sans aller le week-end.
00:44Enfin, ce serait une autre manière de m'empêcher, évidemment, d'être candidate.
00:50Le Pen is challenging a March 2025 verdict that found her and other members of the National Front, which became
00:57the National Rally Party, guilty of misusing European Parliament funds.
01:01The trial ended on the 11th of February, and the Paris Appeals Court set the verdict date of the 7th
01:07of July.
01:08The crucial decision could derail the far-right leader's presidential bid.
01:12Thank you, Michael.
