Le Pen Conviction Sends Shockwaves through France
Update: 2025-03-31
Description
French politician Marine Le Pen has been convicted of embezzlement, which means she now faces potentially years behind bars, a €100,000 fine and an immediate ban from running for public office. It's a shockwave for France, where Le Pen has run for the presidency in every election since 2012, with her support swelling in recent years. To unpack what this means, foreign policy advisor Nathalie Tocci and veteran French reporter Thierry Arnaud join the show.
