In front of supporters of the National Rally party, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella pledged trust and friendship to each other, three days before a ruling was issued that would determine the fate of the political career of the leader of the French extreme right. Le Pen announced her commitment to appoint Bardella as prime minister if she is elected, and to support him if the court rejects her candidacy. Le Pen's political fate will be determined on Tuesday with the issuance of the appeal ruling in the Public Prosecution's request to impose a five-year disqualification penalty against her in a case of embezzlement of funds from the European Parliament, and she will not be able to run if the ruling against her is confirmed.
