Bardella messages alleged He denies Mediapart claims

Sep 28

Kan describes Mediapart's publication the previous day of alleged antisemitic messages from Jordan Bardella's early political career. The outlet says it has documentary evidence and stands by its investigation. Bardella calls the material false or manipulated, disputes the account of his political activity and contacts at age seventeen, and threatens legal action. Marine Le Pen supports him and rejects the allegations. The report includes political and Jewish-community reactions, including conditional calls for resignation if the messages are authenticated, and recalls Bardella's earlier Israel visit as background. It preserves both the allegations and denials without determining authenticity or reporting a completed lawsuit.
