France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen will appeal her conviction for embezzlement of public funds, her lawyer said Monday, after a court handed her a five-year ban on running for office.
“It’s a blow to democracy,” Rodolphe Bosselut told reporters outside her National Rally (RN) party’s Paris headquarters. Le Pen is in a “fighting mood”, added Laurent Jacobelli, a RN lawmaker and party spokesman.
