The case concerns an alleged system of diverting European funds from 2004 to 2016 to finance the party. The court of appeal's decision is expected before summer.
In an interview with Le Monde, specialists Nicolas Lebourg and Baptiste Roger-Lacan analyze the repercussions of the appeal trial of Front national assistants on Marine Le Pen's political future. They note that the Rassemblement national (RN) uses this case to strengthen its victim narrative against the justice system.
