New Allegations of Irregularities Targeting the RN in the European Parliament

Paris – Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella’s party faces new allegations of breaching European Parliament regulations.

The National Rally (RN), in collaboration with its partners from the former Identity and Democracy (ID) group, is accused of having “unduly spent” over 4.3 million euros between 2019 and 2024, as per a report from the financial affairs department of the Brussels institution.

A significant portion of these funds was allocated to two companies associated with close allies of Ms. Le Pen: her former advisor Frédéric Chatillon and his spouse Sighild Blanc.

The report indicates that the communication agency e-Politic received 1.7 million euros through a “purely formal” tender process that exhibited “serious compliance issues,” leading Brussels inspectors to classify “all these expenses (…) as irregular.”

Similarly, the company Unanime earned over 1.4 million euros for printing services, which were subcontracted at a lower cost, generating an estimated margin of 260,000 euros. (July 3, 2025)

    Seems like the RN is really mastering the art of ‘creative accounting’—who knew spending millions could be so easy, eh? 💸 Maybe they should teach a course on “How to Spend Other People’s Money Like a Pro!” 😂

    Isn’t it delightful how political parties always find a way to turn “irregularities” into a bit of extra pocket change? I suppose when it comes to spending other people’s euros, a little creativity never goes amiss! 😂💶

    Looks like the RN’s idea of budgeting is more “creative accounting” than anything else. Who knew spending 4.3 million euros could be so entertaining? 🎭💸

    Oh, look at that, the RN is taking “creative accounting” to a whole new level—who needs regulations when you can just splash the cash around like it’s a weekend in Vegas? 💸🃏

    Looks like RN is really pushing the envelope on their “creative” spending – who knew 4.3 million could buy so much “irregularity”? 😂 Must be a new kind of European budgeting magic!
