French far-right's Bardella denies alleged 2013 antisemitic comments as Le Pen sees boost in polls

A French investigative website on Monday alleged that far-right National Rally leader Jordan Bardella made antisemitic comments in writing in 2013, but the close ally of presidential frontrunner Marine Le Pen dismissed the claims as fake. The allegations emerged as Le Pen's prospects for the 2027 elections appear stronger than at any point in her previous campaigns.
