This Thursday, January 18, 2024, an issue of "Additional investigation" will be broadcast on France 2. The documentary will focus on the president of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella.
After Gérard Depardieu and Cyril Hanouna, it's the turn of Jordan Bardella. This Thursday, January 18, France 2 will broadcast a new issue of "Complement d'investigation" dedicated to the president of the RN. Our colleagues from Parisien were able to discover exclusively what the documentary contains as the campaign for the European elections opened.
A hidden twitter ?
The 28-year-old politician does not seem delighted by the broadcast of the show about him. "The choice to broadcast this report at a time when the European campaign has opened is quite questionable", the president of the RN was annoyed during his greetings to the press. And there is reason, according to Le Parisien, who explains that the image of the latter should be tarnished by several revelations.
En 2 ans, le jeune espoir de l’extrême-droite est devenu un poids lourd de la scène politique.

In particular by the existence of an anonymous Twitter account, called "RepNat du Gaito", which was active between 2015 and 2017. The latter, which displays a banner with # effigy of Jean-Marie Le Pen, participates in the propagation of tweets, in a tone of humor, of the number of black people in swimming pools in Île-de-France or even of photos & ;quot;ironic" where it is written #jesuisThéo, in reference to Théo, young man injured by the police in Aulnay-sous-Bois in 2017.
The boss of the RN denies any involvement with this account. "Sorry to disappoint you, I only have one Twitter account. I take responsibility for all my comments but I will not take responsibility for comments that I did not say", replied Jordan Bardella. For the time being, the latter has sent a formal notice by bailiff to the second French television channel, while at Le Parisien, his team assured that the account was managed by a former assistant by Floriant Philippot.
Le Pen, Chatillon…
The proximity to certain far-right figures is also highlighted in this issue of "Complement d'investigation". Thus, photos with Jean-Marie Le Pen in 2013 in the Marseille city, but it's another photograph that challenges the authors of the report.
We can see the actor leader of the Rassemblement Nation toasting with the former leader of the very radical GUD movement, Frédéric Chatillon, reports Le Parisien. However, Jordan Bardella denies being close to the latter and assures that he is a simple "provider" of the party, since he is the head of an e-Politic company.
The survey can be found in its entirety on France 2< /em> this Thursday evening from 10:28 p.m.
