Details
According to the publication, the Paris Court of Appeal stated that at this stage it had received three appeals following the conviction of Marine Le Pen, and will consider the case within a timeframe that will allow a decision to be made in the summer of 2026.
If these deadlines are met, it would mean that the second trial will take place no later than the beginning of 2026, and therefore the decision will be made many months before the 2027 presidential elections, as some political leaders have called for
