The regional councilor of Centre-Val-de-Loire was checked on Jordan Bardella’s list in the European elections on June 9 and has just been elected in Strasbourg. Who is this 37-year-old man who is little known in the French political sphere?
At 37 years old, Aleksandar Nikolic took his place in 19th position on the National Rally list led by Jordan Bardella for the 2024 European elections. A list made up of outgoing MEPs and personalities who will submit for the first time to the vote of voters. For Aleksandar Nikolic, the bet is won, he will sit in the European Parliament.
Regional and municipal councilor
Regional councilor of Centre-Val-de-Loire and municipal councilor of Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre, Aleksandar Nikolic will necessarily have to give up one of his two local mandates. “I will remain a regional advisor, the two are also linked: the regional council receives money from the European Union, and can direct the use of certain European funds, I will fight for them to be used in the “the interest of our businesses, our farmers and the inhabitants of the region” he explained on May 17 at the microphone of France Bleu Orléans.
“The way to show Macron a rejection of his policy”
One thing is certain, Aleksandar Nikolic is not particularly well known in the French political landscape. “He looks like Bardella, some even believe it’s him. But no one knows who he is, he has no experience of life as an elected official, which poses an incredible problem of competence” launched the head in 2021 LR list for the regional ones in Center Val-de-Loire, Nicolas Forissier. A novice in politics, Nikolic was beaten twice in municipal elections, the last of which was in Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre.
However, the young company plans to do well thanks to this seat in the European Parliament, with the objective of promoting the RN: “Europe has consequences on their daily lives, in terms of agriculture, on the electricity market” he said, still at France Bleu.
