Bardella was the candidate who ensured the victory of the RN list in the European elections.
He says he wants to establish a balanced relationship. Interviewed by RT France on the sidelines of the National Rally (RN) Summer School in Fréjus on 15 September, the RN Vice-President gave his vision of Franco-Russian relations.
“We have always been in favor of a balance, of a multipolar world that places France at the heart of balanced relations, between both the United States and Russia, and with all the major powers,” he explained.
“Russia is obviously a major geostrategic power, with which we have no interest in cutting ourselves from either economically, culturally, geostrategically,” continued Bardella.
“Obviously an opening to Russia would be a good thing.”
The vice-president of the RN also took the opportunity to put in a good word for the accreditation of journalists working for RT France. “You may be finally accredited in the press conferences of the Elysée,” he said with a smile, evoking the potential of his party coming to power.
Marine Le Pen launched the RN’s municipal campaign at the meeting. In particular, she called on “leftist sovereignists” with a presidential tone to her speech, delivering a programme and strategy.
More surprisingly, Le Pen also indirectly diminished the prospects of her niece Marion Maréchal who, for several weeks, has been preparing the ground for a political comeback . Marine Le Pen was clear, warning that the RN would not support the steps advocating a coalition of conservatives, dear to the former member of Vaucluse, Maréchal.
“We hear a lot about a coalition with the right,” said the parliamentarian of Pas-de-Calais. To the applause, she continued: “A national coalition project should bring national unity .”
Maréchal, for her part, has never hidden her desire to gather a “populist rightwing” in a “grand coalition” to include voters of the Republicans (LR) and the National Rally (RN) .
Marine Le Pen said: “All French people from wherever they come have the vocation to join us and to participate in the fight for the recovery of France.”
With this logic, Marine Le Pen is betting on including leftist sovereignists: “They will also come from the left, because leftist sovereignists are orphans. I also personally asked our friend Andréa Kotarac to engage in these future municipal elections.”
Kotarac is a former activist of the leftwing Insubordinate France (LFI), elected to the regional council Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. He announced on May 14 his departure from LFI and his plan to vote for the list of the National Rally (RN) in the European elections.
French daily Le Monde has estimated that 193 municipalities with more than 3 500 inhabitants – mainly in the North, the Pas-de-Calais and the Mediterranean rim – could potentially be won by the RN in March 2020.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
