On 27 October 2026, Didier Guérin, honorary president of a chamber at the Court of Cassation, explains in Le Monde the mechanisms of provisional execution and the risk to Marine Le Pen's candidacy in 2027. The same day, Florian Philippot relays a legal analysis according to which Marine Le Pen is currently ineligible until the Court of Cassation's decision on her appeal. Then, Marine Le Pen's lawyers seize the High Council of the Judiciary to contest the statements of a former president of the criminal chamber about the impossibility for her to stand in the current state of her proceedings. On 28 October, Marine Le Pen in turn criticizes a magistrate's view on her ineligibility, while she awaits the Court of Cassation's decision.
