Le Pen's National Rally Cozies Up to German Far-Right
Meeting with AfD's Weidel Sparks Macron Criticism
Bardella Calls Poll Gap a 'Stinging Disavowal'
In a move that has drawn criticism from French President Emmanuel Macron, the National Rally party led by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella has met with German far-right leader Alice Weidel. The meeting took place in Paris this week, with the leaders discussing political issues.
Bardella, the National Rally's lead candidate, claimed that the gap between his party and Macron's Renaissance party is a "stinging disavowal" for the French president. The meeting between Weidel and the National Rally has reignited concerns about the rise of far-right movements in Europe.
