法国极右翼政党国民联盟领袖玛丽娜·勒庞因挪用欧洲议会资金的案件上诉被驳回，法院维持了对其的有罪判决 [1]。然而，尽管面临法律制裁，民调显示她的支持率依然强劲，且在地方选举中该党势力进一步扩大 [1]。
勒庞此前被定罪是因为其政党在 2004 年至 2016 年间通过虚假工作诈骗挪用了超过 280 万欧元（€2.8m）[1]。上诉法院将对其公职禁令的期限缩短至 2030 年代之前，从而允许她宣布参加明年 4 月和 5 月举行的法国总统大选 [1]。
在量刑方面，勒庞被判佩戴电子脚镣一年并实行居家宵禁 [1]。但她誓言向法国最高法院提起进一步上诉，这意味着该判决将在竞选期间暂停执行 [1]。这一事件也引发了当地选民关于移民、社会变革及司法公正性的不同看法 [1]。
French far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen has seen her conviction for misappropriating European Parliament funds upheld on appeal, yet the sentence was reduced and she is permitted to run in next year's presidential election [1]. The court ruled that between 2004 and 2016, Ms. Le Pen defrauded the institution of more than €2.8 million through a scheme involving fake jobs for her party [1]. While maintaining the conviction, the appeal court shortened her ban on holding public office to end in the early 2030s, allowing her declaration as a candidate for the presidential elections scheduled for April and May next year [1]. Ms. Le Pen was sentenced to one year of electronic monitoring and curfew at home but has vowed to appeal further to France's Supreme Court, which would suspend execution of the sentence during the campaign period [1]. Despite these legal sanctions, polling data indicates her popularity remains strong and places her in a favorable position [1]. The National Rally expanded its influence significantly in recent local elections, controlling more than twice as many town halls compared to previous years [1]. This verdict has sparked varied reactions among voters regarding immigration, social change, and the fairness of the judicial system [1].
