Unlike Jordan Bardella, Marine Le Pen did not plan to meet Nicolas Sarkozy, but the leader of the national demonstration refuses this Thursday, July 3 to blame his second place, on the day after his interview with the former president of the Republic.
“That Jordan Bardella, who is the president of the first party in France, meets a former president of the Republic is not criticized or condemned,” he said in RTL, before guaranteeing:
“If they had invited me to see Nicolas Sarkozy, I would have been there because I always respond positively to the invitations of my political opponents.”
“It is no longer in politics”
It circulates, is there nothing to do? In the eyes of the head of the deputies of RN, this meeting would only be symbolic. She limits Nicolas Sarkozy to her status as a former head of state: “He is no longer in politics, he no longer makes a policy.”
Within LR, where reactions range between shame and indifference, some make another analysis, such as the general secretary of the party, Pierre-Henri Dumont. For him, such an encounter reflects the “internal struggles” of the RN and two strategic lines that coexist within the distant part.
The whole issue, less than two years from the presidential elections, in which Jordan Bardella could participate if Marine Le Pen’s conviction in the first instance in an eligibility ruling for embezzlement of public funds in the case of parliamentary assistants of the National Front, would be confirmed.
“Jordan Bardella has a trade union tendency of lines and Marine Le Pen wants to be a line that neither to the right nor to the left,” he analyzes.
It is clear that the head of the deputies of the RN does not address Nicolas Sarkozy the same respects as Jordan Bardella. The latter evokes significantly in his book, What I’m looking for The victorious campaign of his old man in 2007, in which he saw a source of inspiration.
Above all, the European deputy recently defended Nicolas Sarkozy during His exclusion from the Honor Legion In June, after its final conviction as part of listening. Then he denounced in RTL “A desire to humiliate” that “he surprised”.
When asked about this issue, Marine Le Pen does not adopt the same tone as Jordan Bardella, declaring: “That does not interest me. What is certain is that Nicolas Sarkozy was president of the Republic. As such, he has the Legion of Honor, under the mandate that was his and that the French gave him.
