Jordan Bardella, president of the far-right National Rally, pointed to the government\u2019s failure to prevent violence. \u201cThe government has failed, the head of state has failed in his essential duty of protecting the French people,\u201d he told reporters at party headquarters.<\/p>\n
\u201cI call on the people of France now, beyond their right to protest, to use their voting power,\u201d Bardella said. He is campaigning alongside far-right leader Marine Le Pen, whose polling numbers have for months suggested she is the front-runner in next spring\u2019s presidential election.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
