Overview
- Socialist Party militants and officials, including Deputy Jérôme Guedj, were physically attacked and insulted during the May Day parade in Paris by individuals identified as black bloc and antifa activists.
- The attackers directed antisemitic slurs, such as 'sales sionistes' and 'génocidaires,' at Socialist Party members, reportedly targeting Guedj and others of Jewish background.
- Four Socialist Party members sustained minor injuries, and one suspect has been detained by Paris authorities in connection with the violence.
- The Socialist Party leadership has condemned the attacks, announced legal complaints, and criticized the lack of explicit denunciation from La France insoumise leaders like Manuel Bompard.
- Marine Tondelier of the Greens apologized for earlier ambiguous remarks and acknowledged the existence of extreme-left antisemitism, further exposing fractures within the left-wing coalition.
