As the right rises all over Europe and in the U.S. in direct response to the Left’s attempt at dictatorship all over the world, in France the story is quite interesting.
Jordan Bardella, the 28-year-old leader of France’s so-called far-right National Rally (RN) and a charismatic presence on social media, is making significant strides in his campaign to become France’s next prime minister. With a robust following of 1.3 million on TikTok, Bardella often shares moments from his campaign trail, presenting himself as a personable leader amid enthusiastic supporters. He and Marine Le Pen are spearheading RN’s efforts in the upcoming snap parliamentary elections scheduled for June 30 and July 7—a move initiated by President Emmanuel Macron following a significant setback at the recent European elections.

Current polling indicates that RN is poised to secure the largest portion of the vote, yet Bardella aspires for more than just a lead; he seeks an absolute majority, which would enable him to govern without needing coalition partners. His campaign slogan promises to rejuvenate national pride and restore faith in France’s potential.
The RN’s recently unveiled manifesto focuses on several key issues: reducing undocumented immigration, decreasing energy taxes to increase purchasing power, and enhancing governmental control over education. Bardella has also addressed concerns about his party’s perceived proximity to Russia, asserting that while his administration would continue supporting Ukraine, it would oppose supplying it with long-range weaponry.
This election, potentially Macron’s most audacious political gamble to date, could result in a complex “cohabitation” scenario where a hard-right prime minister handles domestic policies while a liberal president manages foreign affairs. Such an outcome could lead to legislative paralysis if no party achieves a majority.

Bardella’s narrative is that of a local who has witnessed the adverse impacts of unregulated immigration in the banlieues of Seine-Saint-Denis, where he grew up. He describes these suburbs as neglected areas taken over by extremist ideologies, a sentiment he expressed powerfully in a 2022 rally. His personal background is diverse; his Italian-French upbringing in a working-class neighborhood and his father’s departure during his childhood shaped his perspectives significantly.
Joining RN at just 16, Bardella quickly rose through its ranks, ultimately being groomed by Le Pen herself. By 2019, he was leading the RN list in the European elections, securing a victory that underscored the party’s eurosceptic stance. His leadership saw the party distance itself from past controversies including racist and anti-Semitic remarks, positioning it as a more mainstream choice.

Bardella’s proposals include stringent measures on immigration, such as expelling foreign criminals, restricting nationality rights, and cutting social benefits to non-citizens. His educational reforms aim to reinforce respect and discipline in schools through the reintroduction of uniforms and stricter behavioral codes. In other words, he is for sensible policies and is attacked for it, just as President Trump is in the U.S. On both sides of the Atlantic, the LEft is purposely moving to destroy all nations and create their global Marxist monstrosity. The Great Marxist reset, that the WEF and all Leftist parties are striving for.
With the economic platform focused on alleviating the cost of living crisis and reducing energy taxes, Bardella is targeting broad voter bases, including those traditionally unsympathetic to Le Pen’s older, more controversial policies. This strategic moderation has helped RN attract new supporters, leveraging Bardella’s appeal as a young, reformative leader distinct from the polarizing figures of the party’s past. Freedom is on the march on both sides of the Atlantic
