Marine Le Pen's decision to appeal to the top court in France has been seen as a victory for French democracy. The French judges had upheld her conviction for embezzling a million euros in European funds. However, she claims that she is not guilty and is appealing to the Cour de Cassation to clear her name. The French people are aware of the situation and are not likely to be suspicious of her. In fact, she is confident that she will be able to campaign for the presidency without any issues. She will not have to wear an electronic ankle tag, but she will have to stay at home for a year. This may cast a shadow over her campaign, but she is optimistic that she will be able to overcome this obstacle. As a member of the European Parliament, she has already shown that it is possible to improve the EU's functioning. She has achieved results such as returning regulation and cutting red tape. She believes that this will be an opportunity for all European nations to work together and make the EU a better place.
