Macron denounces rising antisemitism, calls for action amid 20th anniversary of Ilan Halimi’s murder.
French President Emmanuel Macron condemned a surge in antisemitism, calling it an "antisemitic hydra" spreading through society, during a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of Ilan Halimi’s murder.
Despite a 16% drop in antisemitic acts to 1,320 in 2025—still historically high—Macron urged unity across institutions and proposed electoral bans for officials making antisemitic or racist remarks.
He denounced both Islamist and far-left antisemitism, stressed that free speech does not protect hate, and called for accountability from social media platforms.
Anti-Muslim incidents rose 88% to 326, with widespread discrimination reported, while memorials to Halimi were vandalized.
Macron emphasized that France needs its Jewish community and reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to combating hate.
