The former Minister of Health expressed his “fright” and his “horror” in front of “this tragedy fueled by anti-Semitism”. “Yes, in this country, there are hints of anti-Semitism. We must smash them because it is unbearable, because our country cannot be a universalist republic and at the same time allow this little music to take hold” , did he declare.

The news item made its way into the legislative campaign. The boss of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, accused on the “stigmatization of Jews for months by the extreme left”. Aurélien Rousseau denounces “instrumentalization” of this drama by the RN. But he recognizes that‘”a part of La France insoumise offered this patent of virginity on the fight against anti-Semitism to the RN”, but emphasizes that the RN is “the only one to have been convicted of anti-Semitism”.

The candidate for the legislative elections in Yvelines insists on the fact that “in the 10 commitments of the New Popular Front, there is no ambiguity on the fight against anti-Semitism”. “The country is in a situation too brutalized to be able to play in any way” with these subjects”adds the former chief of staff of Élisabeth Borne.
