Jordan Bardella and the accusations of antisemitic writings attributed to him by Mediapart

In early November 2026, Mediapart attributes old antisemitic writings to Jordan Bardella, reigniting criticism of his defense strategy. On November 8, a restaurant scheduled to host a book signing by the RN president is vandalized before his arrival. In the following days, Jordan Bardella defends himself during media appearances, while the RN steps up its offensive against the media. On November 12, the Paris prosecutor's office indicates that he has filed a complaint for forgery and use of forged documents in connection with these accusations. On November 13, Serge and Beate Klarsfeld reaffirm their support for Jordan Bardella despite the controversy.
