Jordan Bardella pushed to the fault on BFMTV?

Guest on BFMTV Monday November 18, Jordan Bardella was questioned about the trial against Marine Le Pen. But on the set of the channel, a small error seems to have caught the attention of Internet users.

Jordan Bardella was clear, a person with a conviction on his criminal record cannot be a parliamentarian of the Republic. But what about Marine Le Pen? Monday, November 18, the president of the National Rally was invited to the BFMTV set. When journalists question him about “Will you need a clean record from now on to be a National Rally candidate? »the MEP does not hesitate for a single second. “This is always the policy that we have followed (…) Not having a conviction on your criminal record is for me a number one rule when you want, wish to be a parliamentarian of the republic”declares the politician in front of the channel’s cameras.

As for the presenters, the case of Marine Le Pen, currently on trial concerning fictitious jobs and risks five years of ineligibility, is then mentioned. This time, Jordan Bardella seems to have more difficulty responding but recalls that Jean-Marie Le Pen’s daughter has the possibility of appealing, if she is ever convicted. “The call makes you whiter than white,” he adds. But what if this appeal request confirms the first conviction? “But the appeal will not confirm since Le Pen is totally innocent”says Jordan Bardella, ready to defend his mentor. On social networks, this exchange caught the attention of many Internet users. Some left-wing detractors speak in particular of a « crash and direct »while others think that the member of the National Rally “positioned for 2027”.

Through the pages he explains that in the event of victory in the last legislative elections, he had a very specific position in mind for Éric Ciotti. He would have reserved the Ministry of the Armed Forces for him, an offer that the former president of the Republicans would have “accepted with enthusiasm”. “This area, shared with the President of the Republic as head of the armed forces, is of major importance”writes Marine Le Pen’s protégé. “I have only known Éric for a short time, but I trust him, I know he is reasonable.”
