Jordan Bardella Elected President of French National Rally
Prominent French politician becomes leader of the far-right party at 27 years old
Jordan Bardella, born on September 13, 1995, has been elected as the new president of the French National Rally (RN). The 27-year-old politician has served as a member of the European Parliament since 2019 and is a protégé of Marine Le Pen, the RN's former leader. Bardella's election marks a change in leadership for the party and could signal a shift in its political direction.
Bardella's rise through the ranks
Bardella began his political career with the National Front, the predecessor to the RN. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the party's national secretary in 2017. In 2019, he was elected as a Member of the European Parliament, where he has served on the Committee on Culture and Education.
Challenges ahead
As president of the RN, Bardella faces a number of challenges. The party has faced declining support in recent years, and it is facing competition from other far-right groups. Bardella will also need to navigate the party's complex internal politics and maintain unity within its ranks.
Implications for French politics
Bardella's election is a significant development for French politics. The RN is one of the largest far-right parties in Europe, and Bardella's leadership could reinvigorate the party and make it more competitive in future elections. His election also highlights the growing prominence of younger politicians in French politics.
