“Campaign with respect”
“It was a clearly drunk man who wanted to make himself interesting,” explained the candidate’s entourage.
Jordan Bardella, head of the RN list for the June 9 election, gave his support to Marine Le Pen's niece on X: "Violence has no place in the political debate: I hope that each of the candidates for Europeans can campaign with respect", he wrote, denouncing an "aggression".
