Mélenchon Faces Backlash Over LFI Poster Accused of Antisemitism

The LFI leader defends a controversial AI-generated poster featuring Cyril Hanouna, sparking criticism from across the political spectrum.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon dismissed accusations of antisemitism regarding a poster featuring Cyril Hanouna, created to promote a march against the far-right.
The poster, generated using Elon Musk's AI platform Grok, was criticized for resembling antisemitic caricatures from the 1930s and Nazi-era Germany.
During a heated interview, Mélenchon told a journalist to 'be quiet,' accusing media and right-wing groups of orchestrating a campaign against LFI.
Some LFI members, including Manuel Bompard, acknowledged the poster as a mistake and stated it should not have been published.
Cyril Hanouna, depicted in the controversial image, is preparing legal action against LFI, citing defamation and antisemitism concerns.
