French rivals Macron, Le Pen decry Jewish girl’s gang rape as antisemitic attack sends pre-election shockwave
Fox News
French President Emmanuel Macron and far-right rival Marine Le Pen both decried the antisemitic gang rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in a Paris suburb.
Two boys were charged on Tuesday. Macron instructed French Education Minister Nicole Belloubet to start conversations in schools on the topics of racism and the hatred of Jews in the coming days in order to prevent "hateful speech with serious consequences" from "infiltrating" classrooms, the BBC reported.

Le Pen, whose party's victory during the European Parliament elections signaled voters in France and elsewhere largely rejected mass migration and other leftist policies, blamed "the stigmatization of Jews for months by the far left." Macron called snap national elections following Le Pen's far-right party victory, and they will begin later this month.
"The anti-Semitic attack and the rape of a 12-year-old child in Hauts-de-Seine revolt us. The explosion of anti-Semitic acts, up 300% compared to the first three months of 2023, must alert all French people: the stigmatization of Jews for months by the far left through the instrumentalization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a real threat to civil peace," Le Pen wrote on X.
