Jordan Bardella was re-elected without suspense, with 98.98% of the votes, Saturday October 24, as president of the National Rally. The only candidate for his succession, he took the head of the far-right group during a congress organized in Orléans.
Fears of excesses mainly concern Sunday, continued the councilor, stressing that calls for unauthorized gatherings have been made, the slogan of which is to get closer to the place where the RN congress is being held.
This victory comes as the political party comes under the aegis of Marine Le Pen launched in her fourth race for the Élysée, after having long feared being prevented from doing so by the courts. Guided by their champion, all the executives close ranks, even if one of his lieutenants admits to having gone all in to support this president tossed around like never before.
This election records an unprecedented figure for a torch party congress and participation has tripled in four years since Jordan Bardella took over the reins of the RN. More than 76,000 activists gathered on Saturday to vote in favor of their leader.
Marine Le Pen, the first, proclaimed her 1,000% confidence in the re-elected president, whom she describes as innocent.
On the sidelines of this event, opponents came to demonstrate in the morning in Orléans against the congress of the far-right party. Estimates show 13,000 demonstrators according to the authorities and 26,000 according to the organizers.
