Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN), has formally declared her candidacy for the 2027 French presidency following a Paris appeals court ruling that restored her eligibility for public office.

國家集結黨 (RN) 領袖瑪琳·勒龐在巴黎上訴法院裁定恢復其公職資格後，正式宣佈參選 2027 年法國總統。

The candidacy follows a judicial determination regarding the misappropriation of European Union funds. A Paris appeals court upheld a conviction against Le Pen for her central role in a scheme that diverted approximately €2.8 million to €4.4 million intended for parliamentary assistants to fund RN party operations. While the court affirmed the guilt of Le Pen and ten associates, it modified the sentencing. Specifically, the ban on holding public office was reduced to 45 months, a duration the court deemed already served, thereby removing the legal barrier to her candidacy. However, the court imposed a three-year sentence, including one year of home detention monitored via an electronic ankle tag.

此次參選源於一項關於挪用歐元之歐盟資金的司法判定。巴黎上訴法院維持對勒龐的定罪，指出她在一個將約 280 萬至 440 萬歐元原本用於議會助理的資金，轉移至資助 RN 黨運作的計劃中扮演核心角色。雖然法院確認了勒龐與十名共犯的罪名，但修改了量刑。具體而言，禁止擔任公職的期限縮短至 45 個月，法院認定該期限已執行完畢，從而消除了其參選的法律障礙。然而，法院判處其三年徒刑，包括一年需佩戴電子腳鐐的居家監禁。

To circumvent the logistical constraints of electronic monitoring, Le Pen has initiated an appeal to the Court of Cassation. This procedural maneuver suspends the requirement to wear the monitoring device pending a final ruling, which the court indicated may be delivered by April 2027. Should Le Pen secure the presidency in May 2027, she would theoretically attain presidential immunity, potentially obviating the need to fulfill the remainder of her sentence. Conversely, a timely adverse ruling from the high court could necessitate the imposition of the monitoring device during the final stages of the campaign.

為了避開電子監控的物流限制，勒龐已向最高法院 (Court of Cassation) 提起上訴。這一程序性操作使其在最終裁決出爐前可暫緩佩戴監控裝置，法院表示裁決可能會在 2027 年 4 月前公布。若勒龐在 2027 年 5 月贏得總統大選，理論上她將獲得總統豁免權，可能無需履行餘下的刑期。相反地，若最高法院及時做出不利裁決，則可能導致她在競選最後階段必須佩戴監控裝置。

Strategically, Le Pen has announced a joint campaign structure with Jordan Bardella, the 30-year-old RN president, whom she has designated as her prospective prime minister. This partnership seeks to synthesize Le Pen's established blue-collar support base with Bardella's appeal to younger demographics and business-oriented center-right voters. This approach aligns with a broader 'de-demonization' strategy intended to distance the party from its founder's legacy of overt racism and antisemitism. Internationally, this shift is evidenced by Bardella's outreach to German conservative elements, specifically the CDU, emphasizing shared skepticism regarding EU migration policies and the Green Deal.

在策略上，勒龐宣布將與 30 歲的 RN 主席佐丹·巴德拉組成聯合競選結構，並將其指定為未來的總理人選。此合作旨在將勒龐既有的藍領支持基礎與巴德拉對年輕族群及親商中右翼選民的吸引力相結合。此做法符合更廣泛的「去妖魔化」策略，旨在使該黨與創黨人露骨的種族主義和反猶主義遺產切割。在國際層面，巴德拉向德國保守勢力（特別是基民盟 CDU）展開接觸，強調雙方對歐盟移民政策與「綠色協議」的共同懷疑，證明了這一轉向。

Opponents have characterized Le Pen's legal strategy as an attempt to obstruct the judicial process, with some citing a contradiction between her current actions and her previous assertions that politicians convicted of embezzlement should be permanently barred from office. Despite these criticisms and polling indicating a majority of the general electorate supports her conviction, Le Pen maintains a significant lead in first-round projections, currently estimated between 31% and 38%.

反對者將勒龐的法律策略描述為企圖阻撓司法程序，部分人士指出其目前的行為與先前聲稱「被判挪用公款的政治人物應被永久禁任」的說法相矛盾。儘管面臨這些批評，且民調顯示多數一般選民支持其被定罪，但勒龐在首輪投票預測中仍保持顯著領先，目前估計在 31% 至 38% 之間。

Marine Le Pen is currently campaigning for the presidency while her legal status remains subject to the final determination of the Court of Cassation.

瑪琳·勒龐目前在法律地位仍須等待最高法院最終裁決的情況下，進行總統競選。
