Bardella Faces Antisemitism Accusations from Mediapart

In France, Jordan Bardella, president of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN), has been accused by the investigative outlet Mediapart of writing antisemitic texts. Bardella denies the accusations and says he is being "politically assassinated." Marine Le Pen, a senior RN figure, claims the allegations are a "manipulation" and promises to "counter-attack" and expose Mediapart's "true nature." Commentator Gabrielle Cluzel questioned why Mediapart did not publish the material earlier and accused the far left of "abysmal bad faith."
