Bardella sues Mediapart over alleged anti-Semitic remarks from 2013

RN leader Jordan Bardella filed a defamation lawsuit against Mediapart after the outlet published an article attributing anti-Semitic statements to him from 2013. Bardella frames the report as a campaign to destabilize his presidential bid, a claim that remains unverified. The lawsuit escalates a pre-election clash between the far-right leader and investigative media, potentially shaping public perception ahead of the 2027 French presidential race.
