Marine Le Pen's Trial: A Key Time for France's Far-Right Leader.
Reading
Marine Le Pen is on trial in France for misusing money. She might not be allowed to run for president again if she is found guilty.
Le Pen and her party are accused of using money for European Parliament work for their own party. This is against the rules of the European Union.
Le Pen says she did nothing wrong and that other parties do the same thing. Her lawyer says that preventing her from running for office would be very bad for democracy.
Prosecutors want Le Pen to go to jail for 2 years and not be allowed to run for office for 5 years. They say she was the leader of a plan to use public money for her party and personal benefit.
If Le Pen appeals the decision, there might be another trial in 2026. This would be just before the next French presidential election.
