> A French investigative website alleged on Monday that National Rally leader Jordan Bardella made antisemitic remarks in writing in 2013. Bardella, a close ally of Marine Le Pen, dismissed the claims as fake as Le Pen’s prospects for the 2027 election appear stronger than in her previous campaigns.
