Marine Le Pen convicted but may run for president if she wears electronic tag

Paris – The head of France’s National Rally party is currently weighing whether to continue her candidacy while wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet imposed by the judiciary. The decision comes after a court order that mandates the device as part of a pre‑trial supervision measure linked to a recent investigation involving the party’s senior figures. The leader, who has not publicly commented on the matter, is expected to address the issue in a televised interview later today.

The outcome could affect the party’s strategy ahead of upcoming municipal elections, as the presence of an electronic tag may influence public perception and campaign logistics. Officials from the National Rally have indicated that the interview will clarify the leader’s stance and outline any adjustments to her campaign schedule. Observers will await the broadcast to determine whether the candidate will maintain her run under the monitoring conditions or withdraw from the race.
