Overview
- The electoral committee said it learned Friday of antisemitic posts and immediately withdrew Yves Bouteiller’s endorsement for Romilly-sur-Seine.
- That evening, LFI’s committee for respect of principles decided to exclude him from the movement.
- AFP documented Facebook posts in which Bouteiller insulted MP Jérôme Guedj, claimed the CRIF “directs France,” and likened “genocidal Zionists” to lessons from the Third Reich.
- Bouteiller told AFP he had received no contact from LFI and said he did not know which posts were at issue.
- His name no longer appeared on LFI’s site Saturday, leaving the Aube city of about 15,000 without an LFI head-of-list for the 2026 municipal elections.
