Maryse Joissains will be able to run for municipal elections in Aix-en-Provence. The Court of Cassation accepted the appeal of Maryse Joissains. It thus cancels the ineligibility sentence which had been pronounced by the Montpellier Court of Appeal on the grounds that it "did not justify its decision". But "the cassation will be limited to the penalties, the provisions relating to guilt not incurring censorship". This means that Maryse Joissains remains guilty of embezzlement of public funds and illegal taking of interests. A new trial in Montpellier will have to rule on the penalties.

Maryse Joissains who is running for a 4th term in Aix-en-Provence and who obtained the LR nomination, will therefore be able to carry out her campaign. Me Obadia, her lawyer, said she was "very satisfied with this decision" which will lead to a new trial, the date of which she does not yet know.
