Marine Le Pen waives her appeal to the Constitutional Council for her campaign expenses

The former presidential candidate for the National Rally is backtracking. While Marine Le Pen had appealed to the Constitutional Council following the rejection of 316,182 euros of her campaign expenses by the National Commission for Campaign Accounts and Political Funding (CNCCFP), the former president of the party was finally withdrawn, according to information from Release. This sum of more than 300,000 euros corresponds to the “flocking and unflocking expenses of 12 cars rented as part of the campaign”, says the Commission.

However, the party must “soon repay the bank which granted us the loan for the presidential election”, explains to the newspaper Kévin Pfeffer, treasurer of the party. But “we continue to challenge the rejection of the expense for the cars,” he says.
