Jordan Bardella, Marine Le Pen's Disciple, Rises as Far-Right Leader
Bardella Takes Over National Rally from Le Pen
Young Politician Credited for Party's Success
Jordan Bardella, the 28-year-old president of the National Rally (RN), has emerged as a rising star in French politics, following the party's success in the recent European Parliament elections.
Bardella, who was handpicked by Marine Le Pen, the party's former leader, is credited with helping to reshape the RN's image, distancing it from its past as a far-right party.
Under Bardella's leadership, the RN has been rebranded as a more mainstream conservative party, shedding its former association with racism and xenophobia.
Bardella's rise to prominence is seen as a victory for Le Pen, who has been trying to detoxify the party's image and make it more appealing to a broader range of voters.
