Macron denounces anti-Semitic wave in France, links it to yellow vests

French President Emmanuel Macron has condemned an “unacceptable increase” in anti-Semitic vandalism and hate speech, calling it “a new turn of events linked to the movement” of yellow vest protesters, government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux says.

“Anti-Semitism is a repudiation of the Republic, in the same way that attacking elected officials or institutions are a repudiation of the Republic,” Macron tells ministers during a cabinet meeting, Griveaux says.
