This market resolves YES if Marine Le Pen is legally barred from running for French President in 2027.
Main context: in her current embezzlement trial verdict, she is facing up to 5 years of ineligibility.
The market resolves YES if:
there is a legal ban from her running for president that is applicable to the 2027 election.
This could be the case for example:
Because the court ruling is provisionally executable (meaning it takes effect regardless of appeals).
Because she has gone through all possible appeals and is sentenced in a final, no long appealable manner.
Market resolves NO if she can still run for president, even if a court ruling has sentenced her to ineligibility but the ruling, for any reason, is not applicable at the time of the presidential election.
