Jordan Bardella: Where does Marine Le Pen’s young far-right protégé stand on LGBTQ+ rights?

After a French court found right-wing politician Marine Le Pen guilty of embezzling EU funds to finance the National Rally party and banned her from running for election for five years, attention has turned to right-hand man Jordan Bardella, who could represent the far-right in the 2027 presidential race.

On Monday (31 March), Le Pen was handed a four-year prison sentence, two years of which were suspended whilst the other two will be served outside jail with an electronic bracelet. She was also ordered to pay a fine of €100,000 (£84,000).

Le Pen has said she will appeal the ruling.
