President of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) parliamentary group Marine Le Pen poses prior to an interview on the evening news broadcast of French TV channel TF1, in Boulogne-Billancourt, outside Paris, on March 31, 2025. The veteran far-right politician was convicted of creating fake jobs at the EU parliament to channel funds to her party to employ people in France on March 31, 2025 and was banned with immediate effect from standing for office for five years, throwing into doubt her bid to stand for the French Presidency in 2027. Le Pen will appeal her conviction, her lawyer said. (Photo by Thomas SAMSON / POOL / AFP) (Photo by THOMAS SAMSON/POOL/AFP via Getty Images)
