Jordan Bardella, Le Pen’s 29-year-old wingman, is a lawmaker in the European Parliament and has been on a promotional tour for his hit debut book, What I’m Looking For
As nationalist leader Marine Le Pen orchestrated the overthrow of France’s government on Wednesday, several thousand people lined up outside a Paris café for a chance to share a brief word or even a selfie with the rising star of France’s far right.
“It’s the book they don’t want you to read,” said Bardella during a glitzy promotional tour that has coincided with France’s second major political crisis in six months – one that has lifted his political fortunes just as those of his long-time mentor Le Pen come under threat. “The target is Emmanuel Macron,” Xavier Bertrand, a potential Barnier replacement, said on BFM TV. “She would like everything to speed up before her March verdict.”Bardella – the RN’s likely presidential candidate in 2027 if Le Pen is barred – also says she is innocent. But he raised eyebrows in a Nov. 18 TV interview when he said nobody with a criminal conviction should run as an RN candidate.
“I don’t see the beginning of a disagreement,” he told Reuters. “I’m not saying that can’t happen tomorrow … but they have no reason to split right now.” They were more worried about rising gang violence and immigration, issues Bardella has made a key part of his political pitch.
