Jordan Bardella, leader of Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally, says a “total war” is being waged against the party after Mediapart published alleged antisemitic comments he wrote as a teenager. Facing calls to resign, Bardella calls the report false and says he will sue for defamation; Le Pen says she has “absolute confidence” in him.
