The affair of Jordan Bardella's fake Twitter account
In a second extract, two MEPs claim to have never seen Jordan Bardella at the European Parliament where he is supposed to go as an elected official.
A third extract shows a testimony explaining that
“many people and young people from the FN had a fake Twitter account to make jokes and speak more freely”
including Jordan Bardella.
“Racist jokes, Jean-Marie Le Pen starred, journalists insulted… Here is the hidden Twitter account of Jordan Bardella, the opposite of the smooth image that the president of the RN is trying to build for himself, according to three relatives,”
writes Tristan Waleckx on the sidelines of the video.
“You broadcast a false tweet, without even using the conditional and without specifying the denial of Jordan Bardella who formally denies being the author of these publications. You will be prosecuted and a formal notice was sent today by bailiff to France Télévisions
,” warned Victor Chabert, director of the press service of the National Rally, Wednesday evening via his social networks.

France Télévisions informed AFP of the receipt, on Thursday, of a formal notice intended to delete this passage and that its lawyers had taken up the matter.
“It doesn’t change anything, it’s classic
,” commented the public service group which confirmed the continuation of the broadcast of the issue of “Complementary investigation” on Jordan Bardella this evening from 10:35 p.m. after the magazine “Envoyé special ".
“Jordan Bardella refutes but Pierre-Stéphane Fort’s sources are categorical
,” assures Tristan Waleckx.
Based on the testimonies of four sources, including three anonymous, the report from “Complément d’investigation” mentions a Twitter account that Jordan Bardella allegedly used from 2015 to 2017 under the pseudonym “RepNat du Gaito” to spread racist messages, homophobic, as well as to praise the personality of Jean-Marie Le Pen or even to attack journalists.
