In an outpouring of solidarity, prominent European far-right figures held a rally on Monday to back their French counterpart, Marine Le Pen. This gathering included notable attendees such as Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, who publicly voiced their outrage and disbelief at Le Pen’s recent conviction for embezzlement. This legal verdict spells a significant hurdle for Le Pen, as it could prevent her from participating in a fourth consecutive bid for the French presidency in 2027.
