French far-right leader Marine Le Pen says she will run for president

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has announced her intention to run for the presidency next year. This unprecedented election campaign follows her recent conviction for embezzlement.

The politician is moving forward with her political ambitions regardless of the judicial restrictions imposed by the court following the embezzlement case.
