Marine Le Pen has expressed confidence in Jordan Bardella after antisemitism claims emerged against the National Rally leader.
Marine Le Pen, the French far-right presidential candidate, has expressed continued support for Jordan Bardella, leader of the National Rally, following antisemitism allegations against him. Investigative news outlet Mediapart has accused Bardella of making antisemitic comments in 2013. Le Pen stated her 'complete confidence' in Bardella amid the controversy.
The allegations emerged after months of reported tensions between Le Pen and Bardella. Some analysts suggest that Le Pen, the frontrunner in the Élysée Palace race, may seek to distance herself from her ally should the controversy damage her campaign, though she has not yet indicated any such move.
