Politics: Jordan Bardella takes the lead of the National Rally

After Jordan’s election Bardella at the head of the National Rally party, on Saturday November 5, Marine Le Pen gave a speech in which she made only a brief allusion to the racist remarks of the deputy Grégoire de Fournas. The latter was expected to be the party’s spokesperson. But doesn’t the controversy pollute the great gathering of the RN ? “Officially, the elected officials and activists present here show a smile and unite”reports journalist Caroline Motte, live from the Maison de la Mutualité in Paris.

One of the deputies even affirmed that the controversy was not going to tarnish the image of the party and will even “reaffirm the political line of the National Rally on immigration”explains the journalist. “Behind the scenes, some admit that the sequence is bad and above all that it undermines the strategy of respectability initiated by Marine Le Pen”continues Caroline Motte. Jordan Bardellanew president of the RNwill therefore have as its first mission to “professionalize its troops in order to avoid any new slippage”she concludes.
