Bardella Sets RN 2027 Agenda on Air: Immigration Referendum, Privatizing Public Media, Pressure on Energy Giants

Overview

• Jordan Bardella, in interviews Tuesday on Europe 1 and CNews, said an RN government would put immigration to a national vote in 2027.
• He argued Europe is now ringed by threats from Russia, China, and migration pressures and called for economic, diplomatic, and military independence for European nations.
• He backed the new parliamentary report on public broadcasting by Charles Alloncle and endorsed selling off state media, citing waste such as lavish catering expenses and poor staffing controls that the Cour des comptes is reviewing.
• He proposed tighter rules for social support, including limiting family allowances and access to social housing to French citizens, and said today’s system overburdens a smaller group of workers as young people enter the job market later.
• On fuel prices linked to the Middle East war, he rejected a new fuel tax, urged a VAT cut, and pressed TotalEnergies to make a contribution to a national effort to ease costs for drivers.
