PARIS (Reuters) - French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said on Monday that a court's decision to bar her from office for misuse of European funds ruled her out of the 2027 presidential election, adding she had no confidence in an appeal being heard before the vote.
"Let's be clear, I am eliminated but in reality its millions of French people whose voices have been eliminated," Le Pen told broadcaster TF1 in an interview.
Le Pen added that if she did successfully overturn Monday's ruling in time, she would run for president.
