The X post by @BasilTheGreat celebrates a French appeals court ruling that reduces Marine Le Pen's electoral ban to 15 months (with 30 of 45 months suspended), making her eligible to run for president in 2027 despite upholding her embezzlement conviction for misusing EU funds.

Public reactions on the thread are divided, with many hailing it as hope for France but others skeptical due to the required electronic tag, comparisons to Giorgia Meloni's record, or preferring Jordan Bardella as a stronger candidate.

Regardless of people's political views, it's a significant ruling because it means voters, rather than the courts, will ultimately decide her political future in 2027. It will also be interesting to see whether this affects Jordan Bardella's role within the party over the next year.

2027 will be a very interesting year here (France) imo

We will don't know who will run for president in Macron's party

I hope Dominique de Villepin, as president of France, will be a man who stands up for what he believes in.

True, i forgot De Vilepin will likely be a candidate XD

I'm thinking about voting for him tho. I'm really more on the left side, voted Melenchon in 2017/2022 but he really dissapointed me after that, and there is no credible other left options (the PS is in scramble and trying to recover from collapsing after 2017, the communist/ecologist aren't credible right now).


Like, i'm sure the left won't win (unless if they do a left coalition). There is no way i'm voting Macron's party or far-right, so maybe i'll vote De Vilepin. I disagree with him on a lot of subject, but he's a smart man, that knows how to run a country etc...
