Jordan Bardella’s Make-or-Break Moment in France
SUMMARY
Jordan Bardella, relatively unknown outside France, is poised to potentially become the country's next prime minister. President Emmanuel Macron's decision to call for snap legislative elections follows his party's defeat in the European Parliamentary elections by Marine Le Pen's right-wing group, causing political uncertainty. Le Pen has endorsed Bardella as a potential prime minister if her party secures a legislative majority next month. Bardella aims to leverage the National Rally party's success in the European ballot to gain more seats in the French parliament during the upcoming elections commencing June 30th.
