LFI Faces Backlash Over AI-Generated Poster Accused of Antisemitism

The controversy has led to legal action from Cyril Hanouna, internal divisions within the party, and heightened tensions on the French left.

An AI-generated poster by France Insoumise (LFI) featuring Cyril Hanouna was criticized for evoking antisemitic imagery and subsequently removed.
LFI officials admitted the use of AI was a mistake and violated party rules, sparking internal criticism over communication strategies.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon defended the party, denying antisemitism allegations and accusing the media of amplifying a campaign against LFI.
Cyril Hanouna announced plans to file a lawsuit against LFI, citing defamation and damage to his image.
The controversy has deepened divisions within the French left, with Fabien Roussel condemning a similar poster allegedly targeting him, though LFI denied responsibility.
