France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Sunday vowed to pursue her presidential ambitions after she was found guilty of embezzlement and banned from standing for office, telling a rally her party is the target of a “witch hunt”. Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) party and centrist and left-wing groups held rival meetings amidst renewed tensions six days after a Paris court convicted the 56-year-old of diverting European Union parliament funds. France 24’s Philip Turle takes a look at the latest developments in a political saga that could shape the next French election.
