Investigative outlet Mediapart reported that Jordan Bardella, president of the Rassemblement National and potential prime minister under Marine Le Pen, made antisemitic statements as a teenager. Bardella denies the allegations, calling them political sabotage aimed at destabilizing the presidential campaign, and has filed a complaint against Mediapart. The RN currently leads polls ahead of next year's French election, having recently secured its best Senate results ever.
