Bannon's Nazi salute

Just weeks after Elon Musk was accused of making a Nazi-style salute at an event celebrating Donald Trump's presidency, Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, has found himself embroiled in a similar controversy.

Bannon, a key architect of Trump's 2016 victory and a vocal supporter of the MAGA movement, took to the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, delivering a fiery speech in which he urged Trump to become "President for Life."

As he passionately called on conservatives to "fight" and "never give up," he raised his right arm in a gesture that critics claim bears a disturbing resemblance to the Nazi salute.

Meanwhile, France's far-right leader, Jordan Bardella, said on Friday that he had canceled his speech at a right-wing meeting in Washington after a "gesture alluding to Nazi ideology" by Steve Bannon.

“I was invited… to give a speech on the ties between the United States and France, as well as the recent electoral dynamics of patriotic parties in Europe,” Bardella said in a statement.

"Yesterday, while I was not present in the hall, one of the speakers, due to provocation, allowed himself a gesture that alluded to Nazi ideology. Therefore, I took the immediate decision to cancel my speech that was scheduled for this afternoon," he said.

An adviser to Bardella confirmed to AFP that he was talking about Bannon.

Bardella, now 29, became leader of the RN in 2022, taking over from Marine Le Pen. He also leads the Patriots group in the European Parliament.

The Conservative Political Action Conference helped propel Trump to the forefront of conservative politics. Trump addressed the conference during his first term; he is expected to address this year's annual meeting on Saturday.
