Jordan Bardella was re-elected as the leader of the National Rally (RN) party in France with nearly 99% of the votes during a congress in Orleans. Bardella, the only candidate, emphasized the need for support to help Marine Le Pen in the upcoming presidential elections. The congress coincided with Le Pen's official campaign launch for the 2027 elections, where she is seen as a frontrunner. Protests against the RN congress occurred simultaneously, highlighting tensions in the political climate, exacerbated by recent violence during cost-of-living demonstrations. Authorities increased security measures in response to these tensions.
