Jordan Bardella

Jordan Bardella is the president of the Rassemblement National (RN) party in France. He is currently a prominent figure in French politics, with recent news highlighting his potential presidential candidacy in 2027. Polls suggest he is leading potential rivals like Édouard Philippe. Bardella is also making strategic moves, such as scheduling a meeting with the Medef, a major employers' union, indicating an effort to broaden the RN's appeal and normalize engagement with the party. His public profile has also been amplified by his relationship with Maria Carolina de Bourbon des Deux-Siciles, which has generated significant media attention. However, recent events, such as the defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary, a former ally of the RN, represent a setback for the party's European alliances and influence.
