French Court Overturns RN Municipal Win in Montargis Over Defamatory Video

The administrative court of Orléans annulled the Rassemblement National's victory in Montargis' municipal election, citing a defamatory video disseminated before the second round. The RN candidate Côme Dunis had won by 59 votes, but the ruling invalidates that result, potentially triggering a new election. This is a localized legal decision, not a national shift, but it signals judicial scrutiny of campaign conduct.
