Overview

• Jérôme Guedj, Socialist deputy, was insulted and called slurs such as 'sale sioniste' at an anti-islamophobia rally in Paris on April 27, 2025.
• The rally, organized in response to the April 25 murder of a worshiper at a mosque in Gard, drew several hundred participants, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
• Guedj left the protest after being targeted by demonstrators, who also labeled his party 'PS… Parti sioniste.'
• This marks the third time Guedj has faced similar insults at public demonstrations since the October 2023 Hamas attacks strained alliances on the French left.
• Guedj has publicly condemned the resurgence of hostile rhetoric at protests and expressed concerns about its divisive impact on anti-racist movements.
