Jordan Bardella: Rising Star of France's Far Right
Young Politician Set to Lead National Rally in EU Elections
Bardella Confident and Ready to Challenge Macron
Jordan Bardella, a self-confident 27-year-old, has seen his status as a rising star of the far right confirmed after being elected as the new leader of France's National Rally (RN) party. Bardella has been front and center of the party's European election campaign, leading its list in a race where polls give NR a clear lead over Emmanuel Macron's centrist En Marche movement.
Born on September 13, 1995, Bardella has been involved in politics since his early 20s. He joined the FN in 2012 and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a close ally of Marine Le Pen. In 2017, he was elected to the National Assembly, and in 2019, he was appointed as Le Pen's deputy leader.
Bardella is a vocal critic of the European Union and has pledged to lead RN out of the bloc if elected. He has also promised to crack down on immigration and promote French values. However, his far-right views have been met with criticism from many, who accuse him of being divisive and intolerant.
Despite the controversy, Bardella remains a popular figure among RN supporters. He is seen as a charismatic and articulate leader who has the potential to unite the far right and challenge Macron's centrist government.
