Investigation into Jordan Bardella's writings and security tensions in La Souterraine

Mediapart published an investigation into writings attributed to Jordan Bardella between 2013 and 2015, described as "antisemitic" and influenced by Alain Soral Mediapart. Clément Viktorovitch claims these messages rely on classic fantasies and serve a strategy to banalize Jean-Marie Le Pen's ideology Clément Viktorovitch. Jordan Bardella denies authorship, denouncing a "barbouzerie operation" the same channel, while the same channel reports that some speakers qualify the documents as a "gross fake" the same channel.

In La Souterraine, Creuse, Vincent Lapierre documents a rise in delinquency and burned cars Vincent Lapierre. He asserts that the State no longer respects the "social contract" as taxes no longer guarantee security, while one contributor attributes these disturbances to "migrants" the same channel.

GoldenBoy recounts his experience during student mobilizations in Saint-Denis and Paris 8, where he claims he was prevented from debating by youths GoldenBoy. He describes the protesters' refusal to let him speak as "fascism" and validates police intervention against "rioters" the same channel. Castor Carnassier also describes these protests as violent riots encouraged by a political party Castor Carnassier.
