The record proposed by our local model

This video presents a Mediapart investigation into writings attributed to Jordan Bardella between 2013 and 2015. Journalists and the video creator claim these messages are "antisemitic" and show the influence of Alain Soral. They also argue that the politician evolved within a conspiracy-theory ecosystem and maintained links with Frédéric Châtillon. Jordan Bardella denies authoring these remarks, denounces a "spy operation," and accuses Mediapart of being a newspaper of "fanatics." Marine Le Pen rejects these revelations, calling them "manipulation." Finally, contributors analyze the National Rally's communication strategy as an attempt to hide the party's original ideology.
