clash between Jordan Bardella and Aurélie Casse in “C l’hebdo”

A question that Jordan Bardella hardly appreciates and yet it is the one that journalists regularly ask him on television sets: “Is Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the National Front, anti-Semitic?”. This Saturday, November 16, it is the turn of Aurélie Casse to question the man who has been at the head of the National Rally since 2021.

“I said it. Jean-Marie Le Pen obviously made anti-Semitic comments. He was condemned for this and he was excluded from the National Front for it.the 29-year-old politician is already starting to get annoyed. The journalist and presenter of the “C l’hebdo” talk show insists: “It’s not the same to say “Jean-Marie Le Pen is anti-Semitic” et “made anti-Semitic comments”you see that there is a nuance”.

“Sorry Madam for not wanting to burden someone who is 96 years old, who is ill as we speak and who left political life ten years ago”answers Jordan Bardella. “Jean-Marie Le Pen is the father of Marine Le Pen. You know what I owe to Marine Le Pen and I think that all French people watching us are well aware of the debt I owe to Marine Le Pen.he adds. “I probably would not have joined Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front, but sorry for not wanting to constantly use my speaking time to talk about Jean-Marie Le Pen”concludes Jordan Bardella.

The politician as president of his party is more than ever in the spotlight. Indeed, Marine Le Pen is under threat of five years of ineligibility and may not run in the next presidential elections. Prosecutors also requested a fine of 300,000 euros for the National Rally (RN) MP from Pas-de-Calais, five years in prison, of which two years are subject to change in the so-called trial of the “European parliamentary assistants of the FN”.
