RN Congress in Orléans: incidents and tensions with the press
On October 26, 2026, the Rassemblement national congress in Orléans was marked by clashes involving activists and the security service, disrupting the start of Marine Le Pen's campaign. On the sidelines of the event, Marine Tondelier reacted to the exclusion of Mediapart and the UEJF, while the UEJF accused the RN of antisemitism and Jordan Bardella described the association as "far-left". Mediapart denounced fifteen years of press intimidation by the RN, and about forty journalists' societies criticized the treatment of reporters during the congress. The next day, female participants were checked for wearing bras, which was denounced as an infringement on women's freedom. Marine Le Pen defended her "renaissance" project and Charles Alloncle was appointed spokesperson for her presidential campaign.

Angle comparison for the whole story
The three sides cover the same Orléans congress but from distinct angles: the left focuses on press freedom violations, antisemitism, and the control of women; the center describes mainly the campaign launch and incidents; the right emphasizes Marine Le Pen's political momentum and the appointment of Charles Alloncle.
Left
Highlights violence against journalists from Mediapart and Politis, the targeting of the UEJF and the antisemitism attributed to the RN, as well as the bra-wearing check imposed on female participants. Stresses the continuity of these practices and the gap with the claimed "de-demonization".
Centre
Describes the launch of Marine Le Pen's campaign, the appointment of Charles Alloncle and the role of the referendum, while reporting the incidents (clashes, disruption by the UEJF, alleged Nazi salute). Presents the UEJF as an organization fighting "both extremes" and relays the mutual accusations.
Right
Emphasizes the appointment of Charles Alloncle as spokesperson and Marine Le Pen's campaign themes (authority, security, sovereignty, hydrocarbons). Reports the UEJF's complaint presenting it as linked to an association that voted for the NFP, and repeats the "far-left" label used by Jordan Bardella.
