Overview

  • Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella co-led the RN's May 1 rally in Narbonne, a key symbolic location after the party's 2022 electoral success in the region.
  • Le Pen confirmed Bardella as her replacement candidate should her provisional ineligibility prevent her from running in the 2027 presidential election.
  • Jordan Bardella reiterated his readiness to lead the RN's presidential campaign, emphasizing unity while addressing rising internal debates about succession.
  • The RN faces heightened uncertainty following Le Pen's March 31 conviction for embezzling EU funds, a decision she is appealing through summer 2026.
  • The rally, traditionally an homage to Jeanne d’Arc, served as both a campaign launch and a platform to address leadership challenges within the party.
