For generations, Marine Le Pen’s family have held the reins of France’s nationalist party. Now Le Pen must decide whether to fight for her political future or make way for a successor.

Le Pen was sentenced on Monday to an immediate ban on standing for election for five years, which would make it impossible for her to run for president in 2027 unless the ban is overturned in an appeal before then.

The far-right French politician was a leading candidate to become the country’s next president, but has now been barred from running for public office for five years.
