The president of the National Rally began a two-day visit to the Agricultural Show on Sunday morning, immediately hammering home his ambition to “change the software” for agriculture at the European level.
The day after a 13-hour visit by Emmanuel Macron to the Agricultural Show, marked by boos and clashes of rare intensity, it was Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally (RN), who strolled through the aisles, Sunday February 25, among the cows, goats and sheep. The president of the RN, head of the far-right party list and leading the polls for the European elections in June, arrived shortly before 10 a.m. at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center.
Jordan Bardella responded to Emmanuel Macron, who had accused certain demonstrators of seeking to “serve the political project of the National Rally”. The president of the far-right party estimated that the head of state was affected “a very worrying schizophrenia”, “a form of conspiracy” and of “paranoid drift”. “I only have one opponent in these European elections, it’s Emmanuel Macron. It’s not even Gabriel Attal who has disappeared for a few hours”continued Jordan Bardella, while the Prime Minister is expected Tuesday morning at the Agricultural Show.
“Our farmers must be competitive”
Jordan Bardella notably called for a “economic patriotism” for agriculture and “the end of inheritance tax” for farmers. “Behind the distress of the agricultural world, there is the distress of rural France, the distress of working France, which today is asphyxiated by standards, asphyxiated by taxes, and which is no longer able to live with dignity. his work”he also declared.
“We need to change software” for French agriculture, added Jordan Bardella. “Obviously there is the question of income and work. But our farmers must be competitive. However, by being put in competition with products or sectors that do not respect any of the standards” imposed on them, “it’s very complicated”, he estimated.
While an interlocutor on a stand asked him if the RN still wanted to leave the European Union, Jordan Bardella assured that he wanted “change the rules”. “We can also push the European Union from within”he estimated.
