Jordan Bardella accused of anti-Semitism: revelations from Mediapart and political reactions

Jordan Bardella targeted from all sides. While Mediapart published on Thursday, October 1, elements of authentication of anti-Semitic messages dating from 2013 attributed to the president of the National Rally, the MEP's political adversaries increased their criticism of him during the evening. After the new elements published by the investigative media, Edouard Philippe considered that it is almost established that Jordan Bardella made comments of a manifestly and scandalously anti-Semitic nature.

From Annemasse (Haute-Savoie), the former Prime Minister and presidential candidate called on Jordan Bardella and the RN to draw consequences from these revelations, against which the far-right leader will file a complaint for forgery and use of forgery. The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed on Wednesday that it had received the complaint for defamation with the creation of a civil party.

“If I had committed the same writings, this very second, I would leave”

The subject arose during the primary debate of the social-democrat left, on France 2 and France Inter. “He is totally disqualified. If I had committed the same writings, this very second, I would leave,” said the boss of the PS, Olivier Faure. “How could this deception last so long?”, asked Ségolène Royal, in favor of Jordan Bardella resigning from his mandate as MEP.
