“The main Gaullian principles are today defended by the National Rally“, affirms Sunday, November 7 Jordan Bardella, president of the party by interim, guest of the program Political questions on France Inter and franceinfo. The candidate for the presidential election, Marine le Pen, must go Tuesday, November 9 to Bayeux, for deliver a speech in homage to General de Gaulle, who died on November 9, 1970. This speech will focus on institutions such as the General’s speech also made in Bayeux in June 1946.
Jordan Bardella believes that “General de Gaulle is not the property of any political party”, corn “of all French people”. He was the President of the Fifth Republic “which held to its principles which are close to our hearts today: the defense of national sovereignty, the independence of France, respect for our Nation, but also its freedom”.

“The idea that we have today of France is a France which is respected inside and respected outside. However, we can clearly see today that everyone is walking on our country. , everyone walks on our laws. We enter our country as we enter a station hall “, continues Jordan Bardella.
The one who is also a European deputy also compares General de Gaulle to Marine Le Pen, the RN candidate for the presidential election. “General de Gaulle explained that the two essential qualities of a leader and a political leader are authority and instinct. And these are the personality traits of Marine Le Pen”, he judges.
Marine Le Pen has, according to Jordan Bardella, “instinct, because it has imposed on the public debate all the themes that are the subject of public debate today: immigration, criticism of savage globalization, the excesses of the European Union, defense of the working classes. Everyone today converges on these themes “. It also represents “authority” and may “restore order in the country and do it in the national union”. General de Gaulle “was neither on the right nor on the left. He was from France and I think that today corresponds well to what we are”.
Jordan Bardella also returned to Eric Zemmour. “Eric Zemmour’s speech is so caricature and so brutal that it offers the re-election of Emmanuel Macron on a set”, he says.
“Me, my opponent is Emmanuel Macron”, insists the MEP, while Eric Zemmour is still not officially declared a candidate for this presidential election. It passes “Paradoxically, more time typing on Marine Le Pen than typing on Emmanuel Macron”. “Eric Zemmour is Emmanuel Macron’s insurance vote”, he adds.

“Do you really believe that we waited for Eric Zemmour to denounce the considerable weight that immigration represents in our country?”, asks the interim president of the National Rally. “There is only one difference, and that is that we have been doing it right in our boots for 40 years, with the same consistency”, says Jordan Bardella.
He evokes his “discrepancies” especially on “economic questions”, like “retirement at 65, 67” or “on the social question”, the purchasing power of the French, where Eric Zemmour “shows a contempt that reminds me of Emmanuel Macron”. The polemicist “is not able to bring together a majority of French people”, he says.
Other “divergence”, Eric Zemmour explains “that when women approach power, power evaporates and he says that women do not embody power. Me, I am at the head of a party which has Joan of Arc as its emblem, for historical symbol Joan of Arc and for ambition the desire to make the first woman President of the Republic “, defends the acting president of the RN. “In any case, the only major political movement which is today chaired by a woman and a woman who is capable of becoming head of state in 154 days is Marine Le Pen”, says Jordan Bardella.
“Our project is neither right nor left. It is from France”, proclaims the MEP, convinced “that all lovers of France will end up meeting one day as this election is not an election, but a choice of civilization on the future of our country over the next 20, 30, 40, 50 years”.
