How can we forget the disbelief of an activist my age during a Parisian meeting: “Seriously, your name is really Jordan? » I blamed the mocking smiles and condescending remarks. Why did you choose this first name? I asked my mother one evening. “With your father, we would have preferred an Italian first name, but we couldn’t agree. And the fashion was for Jordans at that time. » […] I would understand later that my first name is a hot iron marker, the identity card of my social class.
“Giving a first name like Jordan or Kévin was, among the French working classes, a symptom of defrancization,” lamented Éric Zemmour during the 2022 presidential campaign. […] I was often self-conscious when, far from my city, I met people who did not come from my background. I had trouble saying my first name, accepting it. Immersed in a political world populated by Arthur, Charles, François, Donatien from more traditional backgrounds […] I had to make “Jordan” a strength.
Karaoke
This start of summer 2023 offers the opportunity for a deserved break […] With Marine and a few friends, we decided to spend the weekend at sea (Editor's note in the Var, aboard MEP Jean-Paul Garraud's sailboat), out of sight. As usual, I am responsible for preparing the playlist that we will broadcast during our casual dinners and our karaokes. […]. Alongside Charles Aznavour, Michel Sardou, Dalida and Julio Iglesias is the catalog of Alain Barrière, originally, like the Le Pen family, from Trinité-sur-Mer.
Saint-Denis, “our own Bronx”
Gabriel-Péri resembles so many other cities in France […] Young people with an aggressive posture were dealing day and night outside the building. It was better not to look them in the eye to reach the often broken elevator […] We had established a code with my mother: the first to arrive would send a text message to the other and stand behind the door to let them in and then double-lock it. One evening, coming home from school, I discovered a man convulsing in the middle of the hallway, an empty syringe at his side. I was terrified […] A viewer of American series, my mother often told me that this neighborhood was our “us Bronx”.
Eric Ciotti
He did not claim any position before establishing the recomposition of the right […] I propose to Éric Ciotti to assume the future role of Minister of the Armed Forces; he accepts with enthusiasm […] I've only known Eric for a short time, but I trust him, I know he's reasonable.
Macron, rosé and the Saint-Denis Meetings
I am finishing a summer spent with friends in Corsica […] I am enjoying a glass of rosé, eyes fixed on the sea, when I receive an unusual call on one of my cell phones. It is Thursday August 24 (Editor's note: 2023), it is around 9 p.m. I take the communication; it automatically interrupts the music from my connected speaker. “Good evening, it’s Emmanuel Macron. » I know why the head of state is trying to contact me. I read in the press that he was preparing to realize this famous initiative announced at the end of the summer riots (Editor's note: the Saint-Denis Meeting). The exchange is frank and respectful. Its tone differs from our previous conversations… […] I'm cutting short my Corsican vacation and jumping on the first plane to Paris!
The night is already well advanced […] Around the table, some political leaders are dozing or sleeping with their heads in their arms. The president does not weaken. Me neither. Nobody sleeps! I bless my youth in this kind of moment […] The other parties seem indigent to me, finding nothing in particular to defend […] I was surprised to see some of them trembling, leaflet in hand, when speaking before the President of the Republic, not seeming prepared, preferring long rivers of flattery to substantive arguments. […] This evening had been dense, behind closed doors […] allowed me to understand who the mysterious Emmanuel Macron really was. Like his predecessors, his features are drawn by fatigue, aged by power.
Marine Le Pen
A lot of bad papers have been written about our relationship […] On the one hand, I would have a frenzied ambition, a desire to “kill the mother” and take her place. On the other hand, Marine Le Pen is said to be “annoyed” by my positions […] our adversaries are also trying a little hackneyed strategy: divide and conquer […] Between us, the bond of trust is absolute, nothing and no one will ever succeed in sowing the slightest discord.
“South West” and the oddballs
The members of the National Rally have just elected me president of the movement, by more than 84%. I became the target of violent attacks from the press and a few marginal oddballs, far from the elegance and loyalty of my opponent during this election, Louis Aliot. “Bardella or the return of the ghosts of identity”, title “Sud Ouest” […] I will be both an empty shell and a crazy crypto-identity ideologue. But also Eric Zemmour's undercover agent in charge of a treason project.
