Marine Le Pen's National Rally formed an alliance with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's political group in the European Parliament on Monday, establishing a new far-right faction. This move came just one day after Le Pen's party experienced an unexpected setback in French legislative elections.
Jordan Bardella, the 28-year-old leader of Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) party, will head the newly formed Patriots for Europe group in the European Parliament, as announced by French MEP Jean-Paul Garraud at the group's Brussels launch.
