The highest administrative court in France rejected a challenge by former Rassemblement National (RN) President Marine Le Pen on Oct. 15, further denting her hopes of standing in the 2027 presidential election.
The veteran conservative was barred from seeking public office for five years in March after being convicted of misappropriating European Union parliament funds.
