法国上诉法院裁定玛丽娜·勒庞(Marine Le Pen)犯有挪用公款罪 [1]。该罪名涉及金额为 410 万欧元的财务不当行为 [1]。原判禁止其参选五年,但在二审中这一禁令被缩短至一年,使其得以参加明年的总统大选 [1]。作为判决条件之一,勒庞需佩戴电子脚镣一年 [1]。
尽管面临定罪,勒庞随即宣布启动社交媒体宣传活动并正式角逐下一届总统宝座 [1]。她誓言将在最高法院挑战该裁决结果,并拒绝在法院最终裁定生效前佩戴电子脚镣 [1]。这一判决引发了法国国内的政治动荡,同时也引起了欧洲盟友对其未来政策立场的担忧 [1]。对此,左翼政党 Debout! 党主席弗朗索瓦·鲁芬(François Ruffin)评论称勒庞是罪犯,从逻辑上讲不应允许其参选 [1]。
The Court of Appeal in France has upheld the conviction of Marine Le Pen for misappropriation of public funds but reduced her ban on standing for election, allowing her to run in next year's presidential race [1]. Originally sentenced to a five-year electoral prohibition, the term was shortened by the appellate court following her appeal [1]. Consequently, she is permitted to campaign while required to wear an electronic ankle monitor for one year as part of her sentence [1].
Le Pen has immediately announced her candidacy and launched social media campaigns vowing to challenge the verdict at the Supreme Court [1]. She stated that she would refuse to wear the electronic foot bracelet before the court's final ruling is in place [1]. The amount involved in the financial scandal was determined to be 4.1 million euros, approximately £3.5 million [1].
The outcome has sparked political turmoil within France and raised concerns among European allies regarding her future policy positions [1]. François Ruffin, chairman of the left-wing party Debout!, commented that Le Pen is a criminal who should not logically be allowed to stand for election based on this logic [1].
