This Tuesday, January 30, 2024, Apolline de Malherbe was like every morning on the air on BFMTV and RMC to host her dreaded Face to face. The journalist and mother of four children received Jordan Bardella today, the young 28-year-old president of the National Rally.
During their time together, Apolline de Malherbe tried hard to get him to react to the burning news affecting France, namely the anger of farmers. Because many of them are demanding fairer remuneration or even alternatives to compensate for the taxation of non-road diesel. To make themselves heard, various roadblocks were installed on the roads of France, one of which was joined by Karine Le Marchand. Jordan Bardella spoke about this agricultural crisis, denouncing the latest measures of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and judging that this amounted to schizophrenia.
But according to Apolline de Malherbe, politics is not very fair. “You accuse them of being schizo, you are schizo too…“, she told him with aplomb. What surprised Jordan Bardella: “Pardon ?!“.

Jordan Bardella was then forced to admit that he had indeed voted for the CAP a few years ago, while trying to justify it. “I don’t know where you got my quote from… The Common Agricultural Policy, from five years ago, is not the agricultural policy that was voted on a few months ago…“. But the journalist managed to thwart him again: “No, it wasn’t a few months ago. It was on October 20, 2020 that you voted and which has been in action since March 1st!“
Jordan Bardella still continued to do everything to get out of this complicated exchange. “I am not against the common agricultural policy. I say today that we give far too much money to the European Union. The CAP represents 1/3 of the European Union budget. I hope that we can reduce this contribution to the European Union budget to direct this aid directly towards the real economy and the French economy.“, he declared. Atmosphere…
