Bardella denies report of antisemitic messages
The investigative media outlet Mediapart reported that Marine Le Pen's deputy Jordan Bardella made repeated antisemitic and conspiratorial comments in private conversations dating back to his early days with the party in 2013.
French far-right leader Jordan Bardella has denied allegations of making antisemitic comments, according to Mediapart, a French investigative website. The report claims Bardella wrote antisemitic remarks in 2013, including claims that Jews dominate other people and that a Zionist is necessarily a Jew. However, Bardella dismissed the allegations as "crude forgeries" and said he would take legal action against Mediapart.
The investigation is based on comments in private chats allegedly written by Bardella when he was 17 or 18 years old. The full story can be found in the Mediapart report.
