National Rally President Jordan Bardella, angling to become France's prime minister after the upcoming parliamentary election, announced at an arms show in Villepinte that he would not question France's international commitments if his party gains a majority. This marks a shift from his party's manifesto promise to exit NATO's integrated military command. Bardella also emphasized the importance of maintaining France's role in NATO during times of conflict, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Despite this, Bardella remains opposed to sending French troops to Ukraine and advocates for supporting Ukraine through supplies and equipment while avoiding direct confrontation with Russia. Macron's party, facing challenges from both the far right and the left, aims to steer voters back to the center ground of French politics ahead of the elections following Macron's dissolution of the lower house of parliament.
