LFI Withdraws Controversial Poster After Accusations of Antisemitism
The poster, depicting Cyril Hanouna, sparked widespread condemnation for alleged use of antisemitic imagery, prompting legal action and internal criticism within LFI.
- La France Insoumise (LFI) released and later removed a poster featuring Cyril Hanouna, which critics claim employed antisemitic imagery reminiscent of Nazi-era propaganda.
- Hanouna, a television host of Jewish Tunisian origin, announced plans to pursue legal action, citing defamation and antisemitism, while his lawyer highlighted the manipulation of his image.
- The poster was part of LFI's campaign for a March 22 protest against the far-right, targeting figures they consider media 'relays' of far-right ideas.
- The poster drew condemnation from organizations like the Licra and Crif, as well as political figures, who accused LFI of perpetuating harmful stereotypes and inciting hatred.
- LFI denied the accusations, attributing the backlash to political opponents, and replaced the poster with a revised version featuring a less aggressive depiction.
