Jordan Bardella, the head of Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) party, has denied allegations made by French investigative website Mediapart that he wrote anti-Semitic comments on private chats in 2013, when he was aged 17 or 18. Bardella, seen as a likely prime minister if Le Pen wins next year's presidential election, said he would take legal action over the claims.
French investigative website on Monday alleged that far-right National Rally (RN) leader Jordan Bardella made anti-Semitic comments in writing in 2013, but the close ally of presidential frontrunner Marine Le Pen dismissed the claims as fake.
