Overview
- La France Insoumise (LFI) is under fire for a caricature of Cyril Hanouna that critics say uses imagery reminiscent of Nazi-era antisemitic propaganda.
- The poster, released on March 11 to promote a March 22 protest against the far-right, was removed but no formal apology has been issued by LFI leadership.
- Jean-Luc Mélenchon, LFI leader, has dismissed the accusations and criticized the media for focusing on the controversy rather than the party's message.
- The incident has caused internal divisions within LFI, with some members questioning how the poster was approved and allowed to circulate.
- Criticism from across the political spectrum, including from left-wing allies, has damaged LFI's credibility and overshadowed its planned antifascist protest.
