French police raid National Rally headquarters and seize documents

The headquarters of the National Rally in France have been raided by armed French police wearing bulletproof vests.

President of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella, said on X: \"All emails, documents, and accounting records of the leading opposition party are being seized, without us knowing at this stage the precise grievances that form the basis for this action.\"

He added: \"We only know that all the files concerning the latest regional, presidential, legislative, and European campaigns - in other words, the entire electoral activity of the party - are now in the hands of the judiciary.\" Bardella described the raid as \"spectacular and unprecedented\".

The headquarters are located on Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the same street as the Élysée palace Google Maps

They confirmed that no individual or legal entity has been charged so far, with the investigation currently ongoing. Bardella replaced Marine Le Pen as National Rally leader in 2022. Le Pen was sentenced in March to a five-year ban on running for public office for embezzling EU funds, barring her from running for the next presidential election unless her appeal is successful. The news follows Emmanuel Macron's state visit to the UK, during which he blamed Sir Keir Starmer for the ongoing migrant crisis, claiming that Britain is too appealing to Channel migrants.
