Bardella Visits Poland to Cement Links With European Nationalists

The trip signals that a victorious Rassemblement National would gain allies in Europe, press the EU to fund tougher border measures, deepen French‑Polish defence ties, push reform of Frontex.

Overview

  • Jordan Bardella traveled to Warsaw on June 18–19 to meet Polish nationalist figures, including Krzysztof Bosak and a private session with Karol Nawrocki, with talks planned with Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
  • He visited Frontex headquarters in Warsaw and called for the agency to be reformed so it focuses explicitly on fighting illegal immigration.
  • Bardella inspected the Poland–Belarus border at Kuznica, praised Poland’s roughly 180‑kilometre metal barrier as "indispensable," and urged the EU to finance similar border protections.
  • He said France and Poland will deepen military cooperation, invoked what he called an "American disengagement" in Europe, and recalled a bilateral defence treaty signed last year.
  • The broader aim of the tour is to show the Rassemblement National would not be isolated in Europe if it wins in 2027, a move that could strengthen ties between PiS and Konfederacja and push harder border and defence policies that would affect migrants and EU funding debates.
