Marine Le Pen puts Jordan Bardella in his place by tackling him on his (me) knowledge of the Caledonian file – Liberation

Jordan Bardella would have gone well from this postcard sent to him by the RN’s “chef” from the antipodes. Visiting New Caledonia, to reaffirm its presidential stature in front of its runner-up which is already seen in the race at the ElyséeMarine Le Pen took the opportunity to make him a pretty hooky. Obviously annoyed by the front page Current values Wednesday, May 28, where Bardella poses with the title « Objective 2027 » and declares « We are ready to govern », By already being at the top of the poster, the patron of the deputies of the national rally put the impetrant in his place.

« I am a presidential candidate and therefore, tomorrow, I can be brought, if I am elected (…) to have an active part in the decisions that could be taken » Regarding the future of New Caledonia, said Marine Le Pen, ignoring The five -year ineligibility sentence to which she was sentenced in the case of parliamentary assistants of the RN, but which she appealed. Questioned at the LCI microphone from Nouméa, she added that she intended to « Participate in these consultations » on the archipelago, which will start in mid-June in Paris, landing as a referee « Between the two “Radicalities” Independentists and “Loyalists” ””.

But does Jordan Bardella have his place in these discussions? « I am not sure that Jordan, suddenly, knows the issues of New Caledonia very well », Tacked Marine Le Pen. Before adding with a hint of perfidy: « We share our talents, we will say. » Implied me I know, he knows nothing about the file … This is the ambitious young person delivered in his place, and not that of number one. « Jordan Bardella has the stature to be Prime Minister because it is the responsibility that I intend to entrust to him, she added. But for the moment, I am a presidential candidate, and I think I know that he also indicated that he would support this duo that we form (…) and that we will represent to the French in 2027. ”

We will have understood, that which remains the heiress and the boss of the family SME n / A No intention to « disappear » for the benefit of the young president of the far -right party made euphoric by its « historic » score in the European elections and the potential impediment of his godmother, Marine. Magnanimous, the boss still conceded: « If I cannot be a candidate, obviously Jordan Bardella will be a presidential candidate. » But it is definitely not his favorite scenario.

This is not the first time that the Pen reappears Bardella. In the meeting in Narbonne on May 1stshe had reaffirmed her desire to win the legal battle against her ineligibility and her « Ambition to be able to represent (RN voters) in two years at the next presidential election ». A resumption of a volley intended for its dolphin which had believed to be able to assert its presidential ambitions in the Parisian on the theme « If she were to be prevented tomorrow, I think I can tell you that I would be her candidate. »

And the main interested party, in all of this? On the move to Beaucaire, a city led by the national rally, Jordan Bardella kept his finger on the seam of the pants, trying to move the responsibility of the mornifle on the shoulders of the press: « She does not say that I do not know the file. And I would not have fun answering these kinds of questions, I think you get the sentence out of its context. ” Recalled on its condition of number 2 – always precarious, at the FN as at the RN -, the dolphin tried to remain straight in its boots, delivering the tone of the elements of language to come: « Marine Le Pen spoke a few minutes ago on LCI a few minutes ago and had the opportunity to recall that there were no sheets of cigarette paper between us, and I think that’s the essential. »

Wooden tongue shavings that party frames had also debited. The deputy and vice-president of the RN, Edwige Diazassured on TF1 that there was « A great confidence between Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella », adding that the two managers « Work in close collaboration with all the executives of the national rally » For « The victory of 2027, or perhaps even before if there is a dissolution of the National Assembly. » The MP of the Moselle and spokesperson for the RN, Laurent Jacobelli,, To him a little rowed at the microphone of France Info on the theme « Everything is fine at the RN, Marine and Jordan work together ». But while praising, « The strength of a tandem », He once again had allegiance to whom the right: Marine Le Pen « Is the owner, she is our legitimate candidate ». We are never too careful.
