Overview
- The phrase “Sale Juif” alongside a swastika and a Celtic cross was discovered Monday on the façade of the Socialist Party’s Gard federation headquarters in Nîmes.
- The Socialist Party said it filed a complaint and described the markings as carrying the “signature of the extreme right.”
- First Secretary Olivier Faure, MEP Chloé Ridel, and national figures Emmanuel Grégoire and Pierre Jouvet condemned the act and called for the courts to clarify responsibility.
- Gard prefect Jérôme Bonet denounced the antisemitic and supremacist inscriptions, while local candidates expressed support for the Jewish community; the PS federation’s secretary refrained from assigning blame pending police work.
- The case is under investigation with no arrests reported, set against Interior Ministry data showing more than 1,100 antisemitic acts recorded in France from January to October 2025, a 15% drop from 2024.
