Prof. Dr. Emad S. Al-Sheikh Dawud, College of Political Science, Al-Nahrain University, published a research paper with Dr. Khudair A. Al-Dahleki, titled “French Court Ruling Convicting Marine Le Pen: Implications for the Future of the Far Right in France”.

The paper examines the political and institutional implications of the French court’s ruling convicting Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally, of embezzling public funds and banning her from public office. It explores how the ruling reshaped the French far right’s trajectory, the party’s internal dynamics, and broader debates on judicial independence and democratic legitimacy.

The study discusses conflicting interpretations of the ruling, assessing its impact on public opinion and electoral prospects ahead of the 2027 presidential elections
