Summary
The leader of France's far-right National Rally party Marine Le Pen has had her dreams of becoming the president of France thwarted.<br /> <br />It comes after a court found her guilty of embezzling European Union funds. She's now been banned from running for political office for five years. <br /> <br />She has the support of Elon Musk, and Donald Trump who publicly backed her after the conviction, and this weekend there's a massive rally planned in Paris in support of her. So who is Marine Le Pen? <br /> <br />Niall Paterson talks to Sophie Pedder, Paris bureau chief of The Economist who has written a book about Emmanuel Macron and has been reporting on Marine Le Pen for years. <br /> <br />Producer: Natalie Ktena <br />Editor: Philly Beaumont <br /> <br /> <br />
