Convicted of embezzlement. Le Pen leads polls for Presidential election in France

Marine Le Pen was convicted of embezzling funds from the European Parliament. The conviction did not prevent the French politician from continuing to lead the polls for the presidential election in France. The leader of the far-right party Reunião Nacional remains the favorite in voting intention studies, demonstrating that the judicial decision had no significant impact on her popularity among French voters. This scenario raises questions about the relationship between judicial convictions and public perception of political candidates in France.
