October 15, 2025, the Council of State rejects the appeal and the QPC, maintaining five years of ineligibility with provisional execution. Immediate effect: a new candidacy is blocked, without the forfeiture of an ongoing European mandate before the final decision. The ECHR refused a provisional measure on July 9, 2025. The appeal is scheduled for January–February 2026 in Paris.
