As a young politician, Jordan Bardella is navigating through the political system, despite his party’s historical opposition towards it. From meeting with Emmanuel Macron’s advisor Thierry Solère to attending events with media mogul Vincent Bolloré’s favorite TV host, Cyril Hanouna, Bardella is exploring different avenues. While he didn’t become the French Prime Minister, he is now leading the third-largest group in the European Parliament, signaling a desire for institutionalization in Brussels.
Despite facing challenges within his group, Patriots for Europe, Bardella is striving to make an impact. His attempts to charm European Parliament President Roberta Metsola were met with cold indifference, highlighting the barriers faced by the far right in mainstream politics. Additionally, Bardella is reorganizing his party, with Marine Le Pen taking the lead in proposing reforms for the party’s future direction.

As Bardella continues his political journey, he faces both internal and external challenges, showcasing the complexities of navigating political power structures.
