Scenarios for a far-right presidency in France under Jordan Bardella (ecfr.eu)

• Bardella would pursue RN sovereignty and Eurosceptic policies
• Internal divisions between Bardella and Le Pen would paralyse government
• French isolation in the EU could weaken the entire bloc

"This ECFR policy brief examines the hypothetical impact of Jordan Bardella winning the 2027 French presidential election. Based on RN interviews and documents, it outlines a first year in office: domestic tensions, clashes with EU partners on migration, energy and defence, and growing French isolation. Internal rivalry with Marine Le Pen and lack of foreign policy experience would hamper governance."
