The day after the release of his book “What I'm looking for”, half autobiography, half political program, Jordan Bardella was on the ground, Sunday November 10, in Tonneins, in Lot-et-Garonne. The head of the National Rally organized his first signing session there.
Zero risk taking for Jordan Bardella. He organized this session just after a meeting for which it was necessary to register, in a constituency where the National Rally came well ahead in the second round of the legislative elections. Hundreds of supporters marched in front of the RN boss to get their signature, and a selfie for some too. “He’s like my son Jordan.”enthuses a supporter.
Readers who have all spent around twenty euros. “I love Jordan Bardella, for the ideas, for what he represents and then it’s youth,” greet a woman. “I like the character, he gives us back faith in France, in human beings. I love what he says, I understand what he says! That's what it's all about. All the politicians before, I I didn't understand them. I don't have a baccalaureate +4.adds another. She expects to learn a little more about Jordan Bardella: “What he feels”, she concludes.
On stage, a little earlier, Jordan Bardella booed the SNCF unions who, according to him, were behind the ban on advertising his book in train and metro stations: “This is the book that the far-left unions don't want you to read. This is the book that they wanted to censor and that they partially succeeded in censoring. Which says a lot about the widespread cowardice that reigns in France and the attacks on freedom of expression.”
In the morning, the boss of the RN was on a farm. He was received by members of the Rural Coordination, an agricultural union close to the National Rally. Here again Jordan Bardella was on conquered territory. “We don't expect you to be the messiah, but not far off. We trust you. Don't disappoint us”, a farmer says to him.
After a tractor ride on a cereal field, the boss of the RN quite openly stirs up the anger of the farmers. “What has changed for you since January?” asks Jordan Bardella. “Nothing, replies a farmer. Nothing has changed. All for that. Hours and hours of demonstrating, annoying people, spending nights defending yourself to get nothing. It's really disappointing and annoying. Today, farmers are in such a state that, as you will see in the coming weeks, it will be hard to contain the anger.” Jordan Bardella is on all fronts, without Marine Le Pen. The boss of the RN deputies was not there, leaving her designated successor to plow her furrow a little further.
