“Our leaders and the European Union have together brought about the great destruction of France, which is leading to its decline at home, on its own soil, as well as in Europe and the world,” he said. “And the name of the big draft is Emmanuel Macron,” Bardella added to applause from the crowd.
The 28-year-old politician launched his campaign for the European Parliament elections by stating that his party “has no choice but to win”, AFP reports. The head of the National Rally parliamentary faction, Marine Le Pen, condemned in her speech the “cynicism” and “militant positions” of President Macron, “who is in a state of siege.” She said her party would offer voters a “thoughtful and decisive national and popular transition of power.”
The National Rally is a confident leader in the latest opinion polls in France, receiving 28 to 30 percent of the votes of potential voters and separating itself from its closest competitors by an average of 7 points.
