A historic gathering. Tens of thousands of people marched in Paris on Sunday for the “great civic march” against anti-Semitism, in the context of the war between Israel and Hamas, in the presence of a large part of the French political class, including the extreme right, but without the head of state or the radical left opposition.
In the capital, the procession set off from 3 p.m. from Place des Invalides. Tens of thousands of people marched, preceded by an imposing procession of political figures, including Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, former presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy and even religious leaders. More than 105,000 people marched, according to the police headquarters.
The politicians rush behind a banner “For the republic, against anti-Semitism”.
