FRANCIA Macron calls reported antisemitic writings attributed to Bardella extremely serious and unacceptable
The French president responded from Spain to a Mediapart investigation about Jordan Bardella. He also warned about rising verbal violence in the presidential campaign.
Emmanuel Macron described as extremely serious and unacceptable the antisemitic remarks attributed to Jordan Bardella in a Mediapart investigation, according to France Info and Le Monde.
Speaking from Spain, where he was on a state visit, the French president said such expressions leave no room for qualification and call for the strongest condemnation. He also said the matter requires political leaders to clarify their position.
Macron also regretted, according to France Info, the violence taking hold in the presidential campaign. He said violent language can lead to escalation and argued that, even when framed metaphorically, democratic debate should be based on discussion and arguments.
France Info linked that remark to comments by Marine Le Pen to Mediapart in which she referred to putting on a Kevlar jacket.
