Authored by lemonde.fr

A candidate for the far-right Rassemblement National party will drop out after a picture of her wearing a Nazi cap circulated on social media, a party official said.

The photo shows Daoudi wearing a Luftwaffe cap bearing a swastika.

🚨Ludivine Daoudi, la candidate du RN sur la 1e circonscription du Calvados, est portée disparue depuis le début de la campagne.

"She doesn't deny it, she took the photo several years ago at an arms market" in Normandy, said Chapron.

"Ludivine Daoudi, the RN candidate for the 1st constituency of Calvados, has been missing since the start of the campaign.

Throughout the electoral campaign, several RN candidates were found to have posted racist, anti-Semitic and insulting messages on social media. »

Chipotle executives have sworn up and down that the restaurant chain doesn’t have a portion problem, but an analysis by Wells Fargo begs to differ.

To finally “put the ‘weight debate’ to rest,” Wells Fargo analyst Zachary Fadem and his team bought and weighed 75 burrito bowls, they wrote in a note this week.
