LFI Faces Backlash Over Alleged Antisemitic Poster Featuring Cyril Hanouna
The withdrawn poster, part of a campaign against far-right ideologies, is accused of echoing antisemitic imagery and has prompted legal action from Hanouna.
- Cyril Hanouna, a French TV host of Jewish Tunisian origin, plans to sue La France Insoumise (LFI) over a poster he claims damages his image and uses antisemitic tropes.
- The poster, now deleted, depicted Hanouna in black and white with exaggerated features, drawing comparisons to antisemitic caricatures from the 1930s and 1940s.
- The Ligue Internationale Contre le Racisme et l'Antisémitisme (Licra) and other public figures have condemned the poster as perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
- LFI has replaced the poster and denied the accusations, stating their campaign includes visuals of other media figures they claim amplify far-right ideas.
- French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin criticized the campaign, likening it to targeting public figures and calling for potential bans on the related protests.
