Marine Le Pen remains a sitting deputy in France’s National Assembly following her July 2026 appeal conviction for misusing European Parliament funds. The Paris court upheld her guilt but shortened the ineligibility penalty to 45 months (30 suspended), treating the 15-month firm portion as already served since the first-instance ruling. This structure does not trigger immediate removal from her parliamentary seat, unlike certain local mandates. Her cassation appeal suspends enforcement of the sentence, with a ruling expected before the 2027 presidential vote. Legislative elections are not due until 2029, so any earlier exit would hinge on the final judicial outcome, a voluntary resignation, or other procedural triggers rather than automatic disqualification.
