Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent More than 180,000 people across France, including approximately 105,000 in Paris, took part in a civic march against antisemitism on Sunday, according to figures released by the interior ministry and police prefecture.
Major political figures such as former presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande, as well as prime minister Elisabeth Borne and culture minister Rima Abdul Malak attended the march.
President Emmanuel Macron wasn’t there, but he penned an open letter published in French newspaper Le Parisien over the weekend to denounce the “unbearable resurgence of unbridled antisemitism.” The event, organized by National Assembly speaker Yaël Braun-Pivet and senate speaker Gérard Larcher, comes amid an explosion of antisemitic acts in France.
Nearly 1,250 antisemitic acts have been recorded in France since Israel was attacked by the terrorist group Hamas on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,200 civilians and taking over 240 hostages, according to France 24.
