France: Police raid HQ of National Rally party

Source: France 24 [French state media]

“French police raided Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) headquarters on Wednesday over alleged campaign finance violations and fraud, prompting its president Jordan Bardella to decry a ‘new harassment campaign’ against the far-right party. The raid represents a fresh blow for the RN after Le Pen was convicted in March of embezzling EU funds and barred from running in the 2027 election. The RN has become France’s largest single parliamentary party, but still remains toxic for many due to its history of anti-Semitism and racism.” (07/09/25)
