French police raid on National Rally HQ prompts outrage from party leaders
French police raid on National Rally HQ sparks outrage from party leaders. The raid is part of an investigation into potential fraud involving campaign finances during the 2022 and 2024 elections. Despite allegations, party president Jordan Bardella calls the operation an attack on pluralism and democratic processes. Marine Le Pen, the party's leader, is currently facing legal challenges but remains popular in French opinion polls.
