Marine Le Pen formalizes her “ticket” with Jordan Bardella

They are planning together in 2027. Marine Le Pen made it official in an interview published on Saturday January 13 in Sunday Newspapercrossed with MEP Jordan Bardella, the fact that the latter will be her Prime Minister if she is elected president in 2027. “I made the decision, as a potential presidential candidate, to present to the French the person who would be Prime Minister if I were elected”says the leader of the National Rally (RN).

“This ticket is absolutely necessary because the French must know who will be the head of government if they trust us”, she continues. For the 28-year-old young man, who will lead the RN list in the European elections in June, the party must prepare for “to concretely exercise power”, because “the question is no longer to know” if he will come to power, “but when”.

Asked about the reshuffle which this week saw Gabriel Attal succeed Elisabeth Borne at the head of government at the age of 34, Marine Le Pen believes that the macronie has pulled out “a bullet in the foot”. “The Macronists have just killed the only argument they had against Jordan, since they had started to develop the idea that Jordan was too young to be Prime Minister,” she quips. The new Prime Minister adapts “his declarations and his convictions follow the winds and opinion”, explains Jordan Bardella.
