This is happening, she said, as the country disintegrates into \u201cruin and chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI won\u2019t give up,\u201d Ms. Le Pen said, arguing that she was the target of a politically motivated \u201cwitch hunt\u201d to prevent her from competing in France\u2019s 2027 presidential election, in which she has been a front-runner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey are doing this for a single reason,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are winning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Le Pen\u2019s conviction has been criticized by global right-wing figures, including <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/04\/world\/europe\/trump-marine-le-pen-conviction.html?searchResultPosition=2\" title=\"\">President Trump<\/a>. Her criticisms of France\u2019s judiciary echoed his grievances against American courts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But she was less fiery in tone than Mr. Trump often is, and the crowd did not course with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/05\/us\/politics\/january-6-capitol-riot-trump.html?searchResultPosition=12\" title=\"\">the volatile anger that fueled the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol in Washington<\/a>. Her party, the National Rally, has spent more than a decade working to replace its radical image with a smooth, ready-to-govern one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Le Pen even invoked the spirit of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as she urged a \u201cpeaceful and democratic resistance\u201d against the judicial action directed at her. She said that she was not \u201cabove the law, but not below it,\u201d either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDespite our opponents\u2019 delusions, there is no spirit of sedition among us,\u201d she insisted, speaking from a podium emblazoned with the words \u201cLet\u2019s save democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gathered before the gleaming golden dome of the Invalides, under which Napoleon\u2019s remains are entombed, many older supporters waving French flags said they believed the sentence was heavy-handed and unfair. But few seethed with fury, and the demonstration felt more like an early campaign rally than a heated protest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI support Marine, even though she did something foolish,\u201d said Jean-Louis Viardot, 74, a retired auto worker. \u201cShe should be punished, but the sentencing was too harsh.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Le Pen and 23 other people affiliated with the National Rally party, were convicted on embezzlement charges last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/31\/world\/europe\/france-marine-le-pen-embezzlement-2027-election-ban.html\" title=\"\">The case<\/a> involved her party\u2019s misuse of over 4.4 million euros, or about $4.8 million, in European Parliament funds between 2004 and 2016. She was sentenced to four years in prison \u2014 two of those were suspended, two are to be served under a form of house arrest \u2014 and fined \u20ac100,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She was also barred from competing for public office for five years. Ms. Le Pen has run for president in each of the last three races, making it to the second round against President Emmanuel Macron in 2017 and 2022. Her party is the single largest in the lower and more powerful house of Parliament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Le Pen appealed the verdict, and the Paris Court of Appeal said it expected to reach a decision by summer 2026. Should the ban be lifted, that would give her enough time to prepare for the presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is not unheard-of for French politicians convicted of corruption to be ruled ineligible, but barring a presidential front-runner is unprecedented. Some of Ms. Le Pen\u2019s supporters suggested she was being unfairly singled out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEveryone else did the same thing,\u201d said Antoine Issa, 74, a retired public works employee from Ms. Le Pen\u2019s constituency in northern France. Buses were chartered for supporters to travel to the protest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Issa pointed out that members of the centrist party of France\u2019s prime minister,<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>Fran\u00e7ois Bayrou, had been found guilty on similar charges, although it stood accused of embezzling far less. Mr. Bayrou, who unlike Ms. Le Pen was not found to have played a key role in the embezzlement, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rfi.fr\/en\/france\/20240205-french-centrist-leader-francois-bayrou-cleared-of-misusing-public-funds\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">was acquitted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhy didn\u2019t they do the same thing against Bayrou?\u201d Mr. Issa said. \u201cLook where he is. He\u2019s the prime minister. It\u2019s painful to see that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jordan Bardella, 29, Ms. Le Pen\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and the current party president, has been groomed for years to be prime minister if she wins France\u2019s presidency. But the party has appeared reluctant to present him as a replacement for Ms. Le Pen in the 2027 race. On Sunday, he publicly reiterated his loyalty to her as leader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have a sacred duty to be there, to stand united behind Marine, to hold firm in the face of storms,\u201d he told the crowd.<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>\u201cShe can count on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two additional competing political rallies were held on Sunday, after the verdict against Ms. Le Pen suddenly scrambled the 2027 presidential race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The first, by Mr. Macron\u2019s centrist Renaissance party, had been scheduled before her conviction but was recast by party officials as a way to counter far-right attacks on the judiciary with a full-throated defense of the rule of law. The second was organized around a similar goal by the hard-left France Unbowed party and<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>the country\u2019s Green party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
