Faced with more than 5,000 activists gathered for the occasion and the slogan “until victory” written on all the screens, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella launched the first meeting of what they now call the “permanent campaign » which should take the far-right party towards 2027.
Until then, a saturation strategy must be put in place with one meeting per month. And this Sunday, October 6 in Nice, it was in the stronghold of their ally Éric Ciotti that he found himself. But he didn’t make the trip.
The president of the RN group believes that we must be ready to govern: “ We did not come together to lament. But to continue to act, to convince that the next campaign has already started. Or rather, it starts here with you in Nice! » launched Marine Le Pen.
If the boss of the RN group in the Assembly has made the decision not to automatically censure the Barnier government, which owes its survival to the RN deputy, bringing it down in the future is a probability that she does not rule out. .
“ When I tell you that the time that separates us from the exercise of power will pass quickly, my dear friends, it is a conviction, but it is also, it must be admitted, a hope “.
The objective for the president of the party is also not to repeat the error of the last legislative elections with sometimes embarrassing candidacies. For Jordan Bardella, new battles will come very quickly: “ The fight continues, and I dare say it, it is here and now that it all begins “.
A political comeback which takes place in a complicated judicial context. Marine Le Pen is currently on trial for embezzlement of public funds in the case of assistants to RN MEPs, suspected of having worked solely for the party’s benefits.
