France's National Rally party has denied fresh allegations of antisemitism linked to the man Marine Le Pen has proposed as her future prime minister, according to France 24.
The allegations concern claims of past antisemitic remarks attributed to the figure, and come as the party has spent years trying to convince French voters it has moved beyond the legacy of its predecessor, the National Front.
France 24's report did not specify the exact nature of the claims or provide further detail on the party's formal response beyond the denial.
