Jordan Bardella, leader of France's National Rally, completed a two-day visit to Poland on Friday that included meetings with right-wing and nationalist leaders. During a joint press conference, Bardella said France and Poland could redirect how the European Union operates if both movements win elections in 2027.
Meetings and border visit Bardella met with Law and Justice leader Jarosław Kaczyński and visited the Polish-Belarusian border. He said he observed measures introduced when Law and Justice previously held power to limit migration pressure. Kaczyński wished Bardella success in the French presidential election and said a victory would help build a coalition to change the EU while preserving its existence.
Bardella also visited Frontex headquarters in Warsaw with former agency head Fabrice Leggeri. He called for stronger support for the agency to protect the EU's external borders and push back illegal migrants. Bardella described migration pressure on Poland's eastern border as a hybrid operation backed by Belarus and Russia since 2021.
He said the two countries share the goal of splitting Europe from within.
