Rassemblement National leadership and internal developments

Overview

Jordan Bardella is set to be re-elected as the president of the Rassemblement National (RN) without opposition during the party congress scheduled for October 24 and 25 in Orléans. Bardella has secured 421 sponsorships, representing nearly the entire party leadership. As president, he will serve as an ex officio member of the RN National Council and holds the authority to co-opt 20 additional members, including Marine Le Pen.

While the upcoming congress includes the renewal of the National Council through electronic voting, Marine Le Pen is not a candidate in these internal elections. She continues to consolidate influence within the party through a circle of family and long-term allies.

Updated financial disclosures from the Haute Autorité pour la transparence de la vie publique (HATVP) provide further detail on Bardella’s publishing income. His cumulative pre-tax earnings from publishing contracts with Fayard for his two books, ‘Ce que je cherche’ and ‘Ce que veulent les Français’, total 1,035,178 euros. These works have sold an estimated 320,000 copies.

In the current year alone, Bardella has received 306,963 euros in royalties. This income significantly exceeds his monthly compensation of approximately 8,800 euros as a Member of the European Parliament. He is reportedly preparing a third book, scheduled for release on November 4, which will be supported by a book tour across France.
