A far-right President Bardella of France? It could happen
Jordan Bardella is the runaway leader in the polls for the 2027 French presidential election - John Lichfield examines whether he would be a stronger candidate than Marine Le Pen and whether either of them can win, becoming France's first far-right president of the post-war era.
The one who now wears the colours of the National Rally explained on RTL this Wednesday, as she already did in Causeur last week, that she will pass her hand to Jordan Bardella if her ineligibility is confirmed in second instance.
A French court has convicted far-right leader Marine Le Pen of fraud and banned her from running for office for five years. Le Pen said that if the appeals court does not overturn her ban, she will not run in the 2027 election and will hand over the reins to Jordan Bardella.
While the appeal trial of the double presidential finalist will begin in two months, the leader of the RN MPs assures that Jordan Bardella's candidacy will be imposed in case of a new conviction.
French far-right politician Le Pen says Bardella ‘obvious’ presidential candidate if her conviction stands
'I think Jordan has the qualities to hold any position that requires willpower, conviction and an unbridled love for the country,' says Marine Le Pen - Anadolu Ajansı
