France will hold legislative elections on 30 June and 7 July, following President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to dissolve parliament after a disastrous showing in recent European elections.The ancestor of Jordan Bardella came from the village of Guendouz, the main town of the Aït Rzine commune in the Bejaïa department.
To feed the family, the only option was to take a boat to France. Thus, in 1930, Mohand Séghir Mada and his older brother, Bachir, left their village for mainland France. Upon arriving in Marseille, Jordan Bardella’s great-grandfather moved to the Lyon region, with several thousand Algerian immigrants working in textile factories. According to Moussa Mada, Bachir Mada’s son, the two brothers worked in a dye factory in Villeurbanne.
