Marine Le Pen remains an active deputy in France’s National Assembly for Pas-de-Calais, leading the National Rally group and participating in recent votes and proceedings as of mid-October 2026. Her July 2026 appeals court conviction for misusing European Parliament funds upheld a three-year prison sentence (with electronic monitoring) and a 45-month ineligibility period, of which 30 months are suspended, following an earlier first-instance ruling. Le Pen has filed a pourvoi en cassation, which her legal team argues suspends enforcement of the ban, allowing her continued parliamentary role and 2027 presidential candidacy. The National Rally’s recent Senate gains and her public activities underscore ongoing institutional presence, though further court rulings or enforcement decisions could alter eligibility timelines.
