For more than a year, Jordan Bardella had been preparing to run for head of state for the National Rally. But those plans have been disrupted by a recent court ruling that shortened the election ban on far-right leader Marine Le Pen and allowed her to run.
Jean-Yves Camus, a French political scientist specialising in far-right extremism, explains in an interview how the National Rally would want to change France if it won.
What we ask in the interview:
How will the verdict against Marine Le Pen influence the presidential polls?
How will France change if Marine Le Pen or Jordan Bardella becomes president?
