Jordan Bardella, a key ally of French far-right presidential frontrunner Marine Le Pen, on Tuesday said allegations he made antisemitic comments in 2013 marked part of a “total war” against their party ahead of the 2027 polls.
“We are seeing the beginnings of a total war, an attempt to destabilise the presidential campaign,” National Rally (RN) leader Bardella, flanked by Le Pen, told party deputies.
