Jordan Bardella and the promotion of his book 'Gouverner'

On November 2, 2026, several articles discussed the difficulties of the constitutional reform demanded by the National Rally (RN), the promise of the Matignon premiership to Jordan Bardella, and the methods of his security team challenged by Le Monde. On November 3, Jordan Bardella published his third book, 'Gouverner', presented as a government program, while comments by Marine Le Pen on the 'Mexicanization' of France caused indignation in Mexico. On November 4, an investigation described the role of publisher Nicolas Diat in Bardella's book sales successes, and the latter detailed in his book pension reform options; the Ciivise also brought the matter to the President of the National Assembly after attacks by RN deputy Julien Odoul. The book promotion included a book signing in Hénin-Beaumont and a launch party in Paris, where the collective 'Nous vivrons' protested and Mediapart was denied access. On November 5, Jordan Bardella was challenged over antisemitic remarks during this party and in a Mediapart investigation, while the absence of Marion Maréchal at the launch fueled questions about internal relations within the RN.
