RN Congress in Orléans: incidents and controversies
The National Rally congress in Orléans was marked by clashes involving activists and the security service, disrupting the start of Marine Le Pen's campaign. Mediapart and the UEJF were excluded from the congress; Marine Tondelier reacted, the UEJF accused the RN of antisemitism, and Jordan Bardella described the association as 'ultra-left', which it contests. A video showing Jordan Bardella removing his watch before his speech reignited a controversy, while Mediapart denounced fifteen years of press intimidation by the RN. About forty journalists' societies denounced the treatment of reporters from Mediapart and Politis, and female participants were checked for wearing bras. Julien Odoul then cited the antisemitic writer Jacques Bainville, calling him a 'great patriot', rekindling criticism of the RN's references.
