TIME Magazine is receiving criticism for stating that Marine Le Pen's conviction on a bureaucratic charge is “good for French democracy. ” This conviction bans her from office for five years and includes a prison sentence. Critics argue this is part of a broader effort across Europe to prevent nationalist candidates from gaining power.
Le Pen will serve two years of her four-year sentence under house arrest with an ankle monitor. The Paris Court of Appeal will decide on her election ban by next year. Le Pen sees this as positive news and plans to appeal the ruling, asserting that the ban violates the principle of innocence during appeals. Current polls indicate she is likely to win if she runs in 2027.
