On Tuesday she asked the ECHR for urgent help and to demand that France lift her election ban, arguing the ruling could cause “serious and irreparable harm to her rights and those of voters that would result from her inability to stand in the upcoming elections.”
The ECHR found that “at this stage of the proceedings, the existence of a real risk of irreparable harm to a right protected by the Convention or its Protocols has not been established.”
But while the Strasbourg-based court did not deem Le Pen’s request urgent, the complaint will still be examined on its merits, with a decision to follow at a later date.
