Born on September 13, 1995 in Drancy (Seine-Saint-Denis), to two parents of Italian origin, Jordan Bardella also has North African origins. Something he doesn’t usually say, especially when he highlights his Italian origins to illustrate the model of assimilation that he defends. Mohand Segir Mada, his maternal great-grandfather was a Kabyle, recalls Jeune Afrique in an exclusive investigation titled: “After Algeria, Morocco: new revelations on Jordan Bardella’s links with the Maghreb”. He came to France in the 1930s to work as a construction worker in Villeurbanne. According to the investigation, the paternal grandfather of the president of the National Rally (RN) lives in Morocco. His name is Guerrino Bardella. He is an Italian born in 1944 in Avito, in Lazio, who arrived in France in Montreuil in 1960. Three years later, he married his first marriage to Réjane Mada, daughter of Mohand Séghir Mada, with whom he had a son, Olivier Bardella, born in 1968, the father of Jordan Bardella.
