Jun 14, 2024, 09:15 PM

On June 14, a judicial court in Paris overturned the decision to expel Eric Ciotti as president of France's conservative Les Républicains party. Ciotti, who was expelled for proposing an electoral alliance with Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, has been reinstated while the court renders a decision on the merits. The party has been experiencing bitter infighting, which has now played out in court. This ruling could potentially boost Ciotti's standing within the party.
