In a YouGov survey, 60% of French people consider the anti-Semitic remarks attributed to Jordan Bardella to be serious, although less than four out of ten think he should resign from the presidency of the RN, according to Pierre Moscovici. #AffaireBardella #Antisémitisme #Lycéens (translated)
A special Mediapart program on "the Bardella case" lasting one hour, emergency set, serious faces, and zero documents. Not a single email, not a screenshot, not a header, not a metadata. Nothing. Just Antton Rouget admitting he cannot deliver "the slightest proof for the moment" and Lénaïg Bredoux, the editorial co-director, who explains to us in a scholarly manner that publishing the proofs is "not easy." Oh really. You have "technically authenticated" writings from 2013, you swear it's solid, that Bardella is indeed the author, that it’s of historical gravity, but presenting the evidence, right now, on camera, after the RN has called you manipulators? Too complicated. The secret of sources, you see. The sources that we protect so fiercely that we end up protecting the absence of proof as well. The new reading contract of Mediapart: "Believe us on our word. It's serious. We tell you. Subscribe." Thirteen years later, private conversations of a 17-18 year old kid, and we can't even show a blacked-out version. This is investigative journalism in 2026: the investigation remains in the vault, the public must kneel before the word of a rag that plays the shocked virgin as soon as we ask it to show what it claims to possess. They really think we are fools. And the funniest thing is that they seem genuinely surprised that we notice. #Journalisme #Mediapart #AffaireBardella (translated)
