Socialist Party Files Complaints After May Day Violence and Antisemitic Abuse in Paris

The attacks by black bloc and antifa activists, which injured four and included antisemitic insults, have intensified divisions within France’s left as leaders respond with varying degrees of condemnation.

Jérôme Guedj (Parti socialiste), député de la 6ème circonscription de l’Essonne, a été victime de violences ce jeudi 1er mai.

Paradoxe de l’affaire : l’agression criminelle contre Jérôme Guedj, et les militants socialistes qui l’accompagnaient, pourrait bien acter la fin du Nouveau Front populaire. La « bourde » de Marine Tondelier n’a pas été totalement inutile.

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.
