00:00He spoke for about an hour and a half, he took 45 minutes of questions that he did answer.
00:08Questions that were absolutely unfiltered by his staff and indeed outlined his policies
00:13explaining that as soon as he would arrive at Matignon or indeed if his party gets a
00:20majority in Parliament he would go straight to try and reduce the cost of living for the
00:24French by cutting down VAT on energy, that he would also make some other reform in order
00:31to boost salaries, also to curb immigration.
00:35I mean there were no real new announcements when it comes to what Jordan Bardella would
00:40do as a Prime Minister.
00:41I think his main message today was very much to try and reassure the French population
00:47when it comes to the National Rally itself.
00:49One of his main messages was, I quote, he said that the party had gained in maturity
00:56by being part of the Parliament, that it had learned to work with others.
01:01He said, and I quote, we will work with other people, we will not leave any good ideas because
01:08they came from another party.
01:10And he did though dodge some questions when it comes to budget, basically basing a lot
01:14of his strategy on an audit that the National Rally wants to conduct when it gets in power
01:19of the French accounts in order to find money that has been misspent according to him by
01:27the current government and which he believes would finance the reforms the party wants
01:31to make.
