France far-right leader cancels US speech after ex-Trump aide makes Nazi gesture

ai generated text

Jordan Bardella, France's far-right leader, cancelled his scheduled speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington. This decision was reportedly made in response to Steve Bannon, a former advisor to US President Donald Trump, making a gesture that was described as a Nazi salute. Bardella claimed he was not present in the room when the incident occurred, but stated that he was deeply troubled by Bannon's allusion to Nazi ideology.

    1. Yesterday, while I was not present in the room, one of the speakers, out of provocation, allowed himself a gesture alluding to Nazi ideology. I therefore took the immediate decision to cancel my speech that had been scheduled this afternoon.
    2. I had been invited ... to make a speech on the links between the United States and France, as well as the recent electoral dynamic of patriot parties in Europe.
    3. Liking Donald Trump's patriotism does not mean being the vassal of the United States.

    1. If he's that worried about it … then he is unworthy and will never lead France.
    2. The only way that they win is if we retreat, and we are not going to retreat, we're not going to surrender, we are not going to quit – we're going to fight, fight, fight.
    3. I do it at the end of all of my speeches to thank the crowd.

    1. Steve Bannon's long and disturbing history of stoking antisemitism and hate, threatening violence, and empowering extremists is well known and well documented by ADL and others.
    2. We are not surprised, but are concerned about the normalization of this behavior.
