Jordan Bardella shares in his book, published by Fayard on November 9, a secret about his relationship with Nolwenn Olivier. In a passage where he describes the election night of May 2019, he evokes the presence of Nolwenn at his side, emphasizing that he shared his life with her for three years. That evening, Jordan Bardella is surrounded by Marine Le Pen, party members and relatives, including Nolwenn. “There are around forty of us, everyone is there: Marine, accompanied by her mother, her sisters and her children; Nolwenn, her niece, with whom I shared my life for three years,” he writes. This personal connection seems to have mattered to him and he presents it as a source of support during a period of heavy political exposure.
In his story, Jordan Bardella also addresses the doubts and sacrifices linked to his political journey, from his first vote to his success in the 2019 European elections. That day, in La Palmeraie, as the results began to come in fall, it describes the atmosphere that reigns in the room. “Can we imagine the courage it takes to entrust a national campaign and the destiny of your party to an inexperienced young man?” he notes, recalling the pressure felt throughout this period.
