Elon Musk called her ‘France’s last hope’.

The lawfare conviction against RN leader Marine Le Pen did not kill her candidacy, but – on the contrary – her poll numbers are surging with the French Republic citizens.

Le Pen extended her poll lead ahead of the April 2027 French presidential election, after the appeal judges shortened a previous electoral ban, allowing her to enter the race again.
