Congress of RN in Orléans: incidents, tensions with the press and Marine Le Pen's campaign
The Rassemblement national congress in Orléans was marked on 26 October by clashes involving militants and the security forces, disrupting the start of Marine Le Pen's campaign. In the following days, the UEJF accused the RN of antisemitism, with Jordan Bardella describing the association as far‑left, while Mediapart and about forty journalism companies condemned the treatment given to the press and reporters at the congress. Female participants were also checked on whether they were wearing a bra, and deputy Julien Odoul was criticized for praising a former member of Action française and then citing Jacques Bainville. Marine Le Pen continued her campaign under the slogan "La Renaissance, pour que vive la France", with Charles Alloncle appointed as campaign spokesperson, while a car carrying supporters heading to the congress was attacked.
