Jordan Bardella skips a new debate on the European elections, Wednesday April 10. The head of the National Rally list sends Fabrice Leggeri, third on the list, to the RFI and France 24 debate. Jordan Bardella has already missed the debate organized by Public Senate. Is the poll favorite fleeing confrontation? This is, in any case, the opinion of the other candidates.

“A bit of respect”, asks Valérie Hayer, the Macronist candidate. For a Renaissance countryside setting, “Jordan Bardella has an arrogance problem”. “What is he afraid of?” asks François-Xavier Bellamy’s team. Marie Toussaint, head of the list of Ecologists, claims to have the answer: “Jordan Bardella may be a little scared by the current debates.” For Manon Aubry, head of the Insoumis list, “as soon as it comes to talking about European issues, there is no one there. As soon as he can no longer ride on fears, he is no longer there.”

“We have been campaigning for six months”, responds the entourage of Jordan Bardella who recalls that the favorite of the polls will begin the debates with all the candidates a month before the election. Earlier, it’s useless, says the candidate’s team before tackling: “It’s easier to campaign on a television set than on the ground.” “Put Valérie Hayer on a market, no one will stop”, slips someone close to Jordan Bardella.
