The reflection has fueled the wrath of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Sunday during a ceremony, the president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (Crif), Yonathan Arfi, accused him of “compromising far from the republican pact”. The leader of the Insoumis reacted by replying that “the far right has no limits”.
Yonathan Arfi severely pinned La France insoumise (LFI) and its main leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, in a speech delivered in Paris on the occasion of the National Day in memory of the victims of racist and anti-Semitic crimes, a tribute to the Righteous.
Faced with the threat of the far right coming to power in 2027, “the spokespersons of La France insoumise are more part of the problem than the solution”, asserted the president of Crif.
“By calling themselves ‘Rebels’, they claim to embody a form of resistance, but what resistance are we talking about when the Rebels are unable to free themselves from the orders of their leader when he compromises himself far from the Republican pact? castigated Yonathan Arfi, considering that LFI was “ready to sacrifice the Republic on the altar of communitarianism”.
Mélenchon, “the objective ally of the RN”
Yonathan Arfi also condemned the use of the word “deportation” by LFI deputy Ersilia Soudais to describe the expulsion from Israel to France of the Franco-Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri.
“The president of #Crif uses the ceremony in memory of the victims of the roundup of Jews by the French police to take me to task. Abject. The far right has no limits, ”replied Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Twitter.

Accusing the Crif of being far-right, when it was “founded in the Resistance and has inscribed the fight against the far-right in its “deep DNA”, is “particularly perverse” and “grotesque “, reacted in return Yonathan Arfi in a statement to AFP.
“A day will come, I hope, when the members of LFI, instead of following Jean-Luc Mélenchon in his wanderings outside the republican framework, will know how to emancipate themselves and free themselves from it. That would be a sign of a Republican party, but today, clearly, that’s not the case,” Arfi continued.
Who then drove the point home on Twitter, saying about Mélenchon: “Leaving the republican framework, whether he likes it or not, he is the objective ally of the RN. »
