Jordan Bardella: attributed antisemitic writings, complaint and RN offensive

Early November 2026, CheckNews reports that a Facebook account remains linked to Jordan Bardella although he claims to no longer have one, as he wraps up a book promotion tour. Mediapart attributes antisemitic writings to him, which he contests, and the RN steps up its attacks against the media. On November 8, a restaurant due to host a book signing in La Seyne-sur-Mer was vandalized before his arrival, with no perpetrators identified. On November 12, the Paris prosecutor's office stated that Jordan Bardella had filed a complaint for forgery and use of forged documents in connection with the antisemitism accusations against him. The RN then multiplied public attacks against associations, unions, magistrates and journalists.
