Jordan Bardella, leader of France's National Rally, withdrew from speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) following Steve Bannon's controversial Nazi salute. Bardella emphasized that he was made aware of Bannon's actions afterward, which he deemed provocative and unacceptable. His decision reflects a broader concern within far-right politics regarding associations with extremist gestures. This incident highlights the tensions between European nationalist leaders and American far-right figures, as both have been seeking to forge connections in their shared ideology.
Jordan Bardella stated, "At the podium yesterday, when I was not present in the room, one of the speakers provocatively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology."
Bardella announced he was withdrawing after Bannon ended his speech with a salute resembling Nazi gestures, stating he pulled out immediately after learning of it.
