The final stage of Marine Le Penʼs legal battle in Paris is here - defense team makes its last statements about EU money problems (which happened back in early-2010s). The high-stakes trial could re-shape French political landscape.
Next spring‚ judges will decide if the far-right leader broke rules: this choice might stop her from being part of any government jobs. The timing is super-important because the next big election is coming up in 2027‚ when Emmanuel Macron cant run anymore; so its making everyone think about who will lead France next
The whole thing is about money from EU Parliament - thats what prosecutors say she used wrong. The case has been going on since mid-fall‚ and now its final part is happening with lawyers doing their best to protect Le Pens interests; but nobody knows what judges will decide in a few months
