Mediapart to Release Further Evidence Linking Jordan Bardella to Antisemitic Writings

Mediapart’s investigation team says additional proof confirming the alleged 2013 antisemitic texts by Jordan Bardella will be published in the coming days.

Mediapart’s investigative team is preparing to unveil further documentation that it says proves the antisemitic passages attributed to Jordan Bardella were indeed written by him in the summer of 2013, when he was a teenager. Fabrice Arfi, co-responsible for the investigations desk, told Franceinfo that the forthcoming release will demonstrate the authenticity of the texts and the outlet’s confidence in the evidence. The original story, based on private conversations, quoted Bardella expressing extremist views about Jews and a “New World Order” dominated by Israel.

Arfi highlighted the lengthy verification process and the necessity of safeguarding sources, noting that the publication will not proceed without absolute certainty. He also referenced the Cahuzac scandal to illustrate the pattern of denial among party loyalists. The next set of documents is expected within the next few days.

Why it matters

The case could impact Jordan Bardella’s political standing and raise questions about extremist rhetoric within the RN.
