Jordan Bardella, a 28-year-old right-wing politician, has been making waves in French politics since becoming president of the National Rally party in 2022. The party, formerly known as the National Front, has shifted towards a more populist stance under the leadership of Marine Le Pen, daughter of the party's controversial founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Bardella, born to Italian immigrant parents, rose to prominence despite not completing his college education. His upbringing in a working-class neighborhood in the Paris suburbs has resonated with many voters. The recent surge in support for the National Rally in the European Union elections has positioned Bardella as a potential candidate for the French prime minister role.
