Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally, was the guest of 8:30 a.m. franceinfo, Friday May 6. He answered questions from Saveria Rojek and Lorrain Sénéchal.
The National Rally, the only opposition to Emmanuel Macron
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon, first opponent? It’s a fable”, reacted Jordan Bardella. According to him, the leader of La France insoumise cannot oppose Emmanuel Macron because he has “elected”. For the president of the RN, his party is “the only opposition” to the re-elected president, who “will have its majority” in the National Assembly.
The sanctions planned by Europe against Russia, “it does not work”
Asked about the European Commission’s proposed embargo on Russian oil, Jordan Bardella warns: “Be careful not to do anything under the influence of morality”. RN president says “think first of the wallet of the French”. According to him, these sanctions do not work, since “What is taken from Russia, Russia recovers elsewhere“.
“Do you want us to end up in a few weeks with a liter of gasoline at 3.5 euros?”he asks, pleading rather for “an agreement between all gas exporting countries” for them to make a financial effort.
