Jordan Bardella Admits Campaign Errors and Assumes Responsibility
Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally (RN), has openly acknowledged his mistakes in the recent legislative election campaign. The RN secured 143 seats in the National Assembly, a result Bardella described as both a victory and a defeat. He admitted his share of responsibility for both the success in the European elections and the shortcomings in the recent legislative elections.
Controversial Candidate Choices
Bardella specifically pointed out the poor decisions made in the selection of certain candidates. These candidates, due to their past comments or behaviors, caused significant disruptions towards the end of the campaign. Bardella emphasized the need to revisit the nomination process to ensure that future candidates align with the political vision he supports.
Dual Nationality Controversy
Another significant issue raised by Bardella was the controversy surrounding dual nationals and their eligibility for key positions in France. This campaign proposal was widely misunderstood and sparked considerable debate. Bardella expressed regret over the lack of clarity and promised to continue efforts to clarify and justify their stance on this matter.
Despite the challenges, Bardella remains optimistic about the future. He mentioned the concept of a 'delayed victory' and a forthcoming 'wave' that would eventually bring the RN to power. With 143 deputies, the RN and its allies have significantly increased their representation compared to the previous contingent.
- Bardella also criticized the Republican front established by the other main political blocs, accusing them of creating electoral arrangements that contribute to national instability. He believes these alliances, particularly between Macron's camp and the extreme left, are detrimental to the country's stability.
- Looking ahead, Bardella promised to return 'even more prepared' for future elections. He stressed the importance of professionalizing the local establishment and making better choices regarding candidate selection to avoid past mistakes.
