On Wednesday, Marine Le Pen made her first campaign trip to La Flèche, accompanied by Jordan Bardella. The purpose was to promote their joint 'ticket': Le Pen for the Elysee Palace and Bardella for Matignon (Prime Minister). This move has abruptly changed Bardella's status, forcing him to postpone his own presidential ambition. Questions are now being raised about his influence on the party and its program, while at the same time, the inner circle of Le Pen loyalists is triumphant. The discussion was held in the 'Playbook Paris' podcast, featuring Anthony Lattier and POLITICO journalist Sarah Paillou.
