Macron denounces ‘scourge of antisemitism’ after Jewish girl’s rape
French President Emmanuel Macron has told ministers that a “scourge of antisemitism” threatens French schools, a member of his entourage says, after a 12-year-old Jewish girl was raped in a suspected hate crime.
Macron “spoke solemnly and seriously about the scourge of antisemitism” in a cabinet meeting, the source says, calling for “dialogue” about racism and hatred of Jews in schools to prevent “hateful speech with serious consequences” from “infiltrating” classrooms.
