The brief

A French court has ruled that far-right leader Marine Le Pen may run for president. While the court cleared her path to candidacy, she was found guilty and ordered to wear an electronic ankle tag.

Coverage from Reuters, BBC, NBC News, and Fox News emphasizes the duality of the verdict. Reports highlight that while her eligibility is intact, the requirement of house arrest or an ankle tag may threaten her campaign activities.

Future developments depend on how the electronic monitoring affects her ability to campaign. Coverage does not specify the duration of the tagging requirement.
