Of course, the next presidential election is still a long way off. But based on certain polls, the possibility of a runoff between Jordan Bardella and Jean-Luc Mélenchon is starting to take shape, a scenario that resembles a revisited version of the apocalypse. Just thinking about it makes my water break. This will no longer be a nightmare, but rather a plunge straight into terror where voters will be forced to choose between intellectually carefree ectoplasm and an embittered character with angry words.
🔴 Survey #presidential 2027: Bardella’s big favorite?
A year and a half before the presidential election, Jordan Bardella seems to be the main favorite in the election, according to the latest barometer from Odoxa and Mascaret for the Public Senate and regional press. For the first time,… pic.twitter.com/jHbyIzYiHT

Hopefully such a situation never occurs. You might also have to choose, in the canteen, between turnip porridge and wild boar soup. Or have the option, for your next holiday, of a donkey ride through the Berry countryside or a boat ride, bound for the Roaring Forties, without a lifeboat. An impossible choice that would pit two candidates against each other, each of whom, in their own way, embodies a form of radicalism deadly to the country.
Someone sees in a stranger the image of all evil on Earth; others were ready to slit the throats of the first millionaires with their bare hands; both advocate a kind of uninhibited populism in which, from anathema to anathema, we deploy entire discourses aimed not at governing on the principle of harmony, but in a permanent hysterization of public debate that quickly throws people into the streets.
This will be a national revolution against revolutionary internationalism. Who could imagine either of these two becoming head of state without feeling the ground shake? Who would not be giddy at the thought of supreme leader having someone whose hatred was the main fuel, hatred of capital for one, hatred of immigrants for another, so many variations of behavior marked above all by a great desire to pit the French against each other?
This would be the end of the Republic, the twilight of the French nation which was seen as a space for dialogue, where, despite differences in approach, we could still unite on some basic principles such as equality before the law, respect for institutions, Europe as the only response to the disorders of our time, so many ideals in the view of the show’s two political braggarts namely Jordan Bardella and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
A country that moves away from its center to support extremist parties is a country that condemns itself to bloody confrontation.
Jordan Bardella is a cosmic void of thought, masked by an obsession with identity in all its variations. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, sound and fury, established as the principle of government. And the same thing, faith in strength: revolutionary enthusiasm, even if it meant shedding blood against the blind repression of everything that did not elevate the French nation. With the same result, a fractured, disunited and divided country will seek to resolve its problems, no longer in the halls of the National Assembly, but at the edge of a dead end, where mutual rivalry and factional fighting are an article of law.
France will be hard-pressed to recover from this. This would turn into anarchy, a bloody confrontation that would result in whole levels of society being stigmatized or hunted down, some for being born elsewhere or of dubious marriages, others for having accumulated too much wealth to be considered suspect and therefore worthy of confiscation. The effect is a hysterization of public life where nothing can be achieved without triggering outbursts of anger and attacks on democracy.
A country that moves away from its center to support extremist parties is a country that condemns itself to bloody confrontation. Policies that tend to pit people against each other carry the seeds of destruction for their own communities. The galvanized nation thus becomes a battlefield in which common interests disappear and are replaced by partisan considerations. And in the chiaroscuro of democracy, which is attacked from all sides, the shadow of chaos, problem-solving, strangulation of institutions, control of the state apparatus that aims to replace the normal order of social life emerges fiercely.
We’re not there yet. Even so, the hypothesis of seeing these two marioles facing each other in the second round of the 2027 presidential election is not a fantasy aimed at scaring the masses. It is true that there is no certainty, but it is a possibility that is worth pondering, considering that the same problem will also arise if Marine Le Pen succeeds in becoming a candidate. Suffice it to say that in a year and a half, for those who intend to rule without sacrificing their country, it will be time to roll up their sleeves.
