La France insoumise (LFI) and its deputies “will not participate” to the march against anti-Semitism planned for Sunday at the call of the presidents of the National Assembly and the Senate, the party announced on Wednesday, November 8, denouncing the announced presence of the National Rally (RN).
LFI thus confirms an absence announced on Tuesday evening by its leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who had rejected on (formerly Twitter) this ” appointment “ of the “friends of unconditional support for the massacre” committed according to him by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.

In the morning, Marine Le Pen called, on RTL, ” all [des] members and [des] voters [du RN] to come and join this march ». “It is time for the French people (…) expresses its absolutely total rejection of the spectacular increase in visible acts (…) of anti-Semitism”, she added.
“We may march in another place”

The RN “I don’t have to like it” in this event, said Wednesday Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the Communist Party, who does not intend “not be absent” of this event, but “will not parade alongside” far-right parties.
“That there is a march against anti-Semitism is important [mais] it’s necessary [que les organisateurs] specify the contours of this gathering »continued Mr. Roussel, who “I won’t understand
