In the Champagne Region, Far-right Figure Jordan Bardella Made a Campaign Stop at a Local Fair

With eight months to go before France's presidential election, the campaign is heating up as political parties hold gatherings across the country. The first round of voting is scheduled for April 18. The Socialist Party concluded a two-day gathering on Saturday with a speech from party leader Olivier Faure, who has yet to officially announce his candidacy. In the Champagne region, far-right figure Jordan Bardella made a campaign stop at a local fair. These events follow a first debate earlier this week between seven of the leading candidates, which was organised by business leaders.
