# Controversies surrounding the Rassemblement national after its Orléans congress > On October 28, 2026, RN MP Julien Odoul cites antisemitic writer Jacques Bainville, describing him as a “great patriot,” rekindling criticism of the party's references. The same day, Éric Ciotti demands apologies from an MP after a tweet targeting Charles Alloncle, and Marine Le Pen develops the “Renaissance” concept for her presidential campaign. On October 29, a bus of RN supporters heading to the Orléans congress is attacked, while the Loiret Licra announces a complaint against X after a possible Nazi salute was captured at the October 25 rally. On October 30, Julien Odoul leaves a BFMTV set and announces he is filing a complaint, fourteen media outlets call on the RN to guarantee freedom to inform, and the party removes photos of Chenonceau and Chambord from its communications. The week is also marked by criticism over antisemitism and the publication of a book by Jordan Bardella after his reelection as RN leader. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 57 events nationwide, followed from 24 October 2026 to 31 October 2026. 337 articles from 46 sources (politics, justice, security); last updated on 31 October 2026 at 08:47. Reported toll: 1 death, 5 injured, 1 arrest. - Status: ongoing - Category: Politics, Justice, Security - Place: Nationwide - First detected: 24 October 2026 at 12:05 - Updated: 31 October 2026 at 08:47 - Web page: https://acturadar.com/en/stories/26-controversies-surrounding-the-rassemblement-national-after-its-orleans-congress ## Reported figures - 1 deaths - 5 injured - 1 arrests - 140 milliards d’euros - 17 milliards - 6 000 euros ## Coverage angles The left focuses its coverage on antisemitism, violence against journalists and the RN's arrogance, while the right highlights attacks suffered by the party and its supporters as well as the normalization strategy; the center focuses more on verifiable facts (Bardella's watch, book sales, the “Renaissance” concept) and the issue of freedom to inform. **Common ground** - Fourteen media outlets call on the RN to guarantee freedom of information after violence against journalists at the Orléans congress - Julien Odoul cites Jacques Bainville, describing him as a “great patriot” - Éric Ciotti demands apologies or a sanction after the tweet “We all have a racist Alloncle” targeting Charles Alloncle - Marine Le Pen develops the “Renaissance” concept for her presidential campaign **Differences** - The left presents Bainville references and antisemitic remarks as revealing the RN's “true face,” an angle absent from the right - The right highlights the attack on the RN supporters' bus and a student's remarks wishing for a “dead party,” little or not covered by the left - The center fact-checks Bardella's watch and oil potential, topics absent from the other sides - The left mentions “racist” violence and a possible Nazi salute reported by the Licra, not taken up by the right ## What is established _“Confirmed” = reported by at least two independent outlets (outlets of the same group count as one). AI cross-check of the collected headlines and extracts._ **Confirmed by several sources** - Journalists from Mediapart and Politis were assaulted by the security service and militants during the congress.
