“I call on all political forces to say that it is not possible for there to be the slightest anti-Semitic act or word in France, that Jewish French people cannot be held responsible for acts which have been committed by other Jews elsewhere in the world,” Olivier Faure declared this Sunday at Radio J. The statement by the PS boss follows the rise in anti-Semitic acts in France since the October 7 Hamas attack. in Israel.
Asked about the presence of the National Rally, the First Secretary declared that the invitation was also intended for them, under certain conditions: “If the RN is willing to respond to this call and ensure that it breaks away from its own history and part of its elected representatives.”
“Let’s fight together against anti-Semitism”
“Two conditions which are not close to being met,” Olivier Faure’s entourage told AFP, recalling that “the RN has its roots in anti-Semitism, making its presence incompatible with the march initiated by the PS “. The member for Seine-et-Marne also said: “Let us seek to ensure that the entire left, the entire right, are in unison on this issue. Let’s fight together against anti-Semitism.”
This gathering could be held at Place de la République in Paris “in the coming days” according to the wishes of the first secretary of the Socialist Party, who indicated that he would contact other political organizations to make this idea a reality.
