Jordan Bardella wants to convince the bosses. Candidates for the European elections took part on Friday in a debate organized by the ETHIC movement, made up of bosses and entrepreneurs. Present were Marion Maréchal, François-Xavier Bellamy, and Jordan Bardella, for whom the event is of particular importance. Shunned by the big bosses, the head of the RN list has in fact launched a seduction operation against them for several months.
From the first minutes of his intervention Jordan Bardella shows his intentions. “I was made to understand that in this campaign I had to reassure economic circles, so in three minutes I will try to present clear ideas to you and get to the point,” he said. Lower production taxes, priority of access in public markets or elimination of overtranspositions, faced with an audience of big bosses, often hostile to the economic program of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella delivers a pro-business speech.
Work, growth, and business
“The three great ambitions that I have: work, growth, business. I think that economic activity is perhaps the first response to the deficit and the abysmal debt that we will bequeath to future generations,” announced the head of the RN list. Economic circles are the new targets of the RN in its logic of conquest of power. But the party is starting from afar, because it has often been accused of incompetence by its adversaries.
Jordan Bardella enjoys a more liberal image than Marine Le Pen. An image allowing her to work on convincing business leaders who have until now been reluctant to vote for the three-time candidate in the presidential election.
