Accusations of anti -Semitism: Cyril Hanouna wants to prosecute LFI for a poster targeting him

Cyril Hanouna will continue France Insoumise in justice, announced this Wednesday his lawyer, in reaction to a communication campaign featuring the host and who sparked charges of anti -Semitism, challenged by the radical left movement. “We are preparing legal actions,” said Stéphane Hasbanian, invoking the “image damage” and saying to think about “other actions related to anti -Semitism”.

The criminal visual was initially put online on the LFI X account, which has since removed it. He shows the face of Cyril Hanouna, of Tunisian Jewish origin, in black and white, frowning and aggressive air, above messages “Manifestations against the extreme right his ideas … and his relays!” “And” everywhere in France March 22 “. “It’s a photomontage,” said Me Hasbanian. “We accentuated the features of Cyril Hanouna to make him look like what or who,” he said.

“LFI recycles anti -Jewish iconography”

With this poster, “LFI recycles anti -Jewish iconography,” said LICRA (International League against Racism and Anti -Semitism) on the social network X. Lawyer Arno Klarsfeld also denounced a “clearly anti -Semitic” poster. “The head of Cyril Hanouna is priced,” wrote the boss of the CMI France media group, Denis Olivennes, seeing “fascist methods”. This “image borrows all the codes of anti -Semitic caricatures”, abounded the former socialist senator David Assouline.

Some, like Jules Torres, columnist for CNews and Europe 1 and JDD journalist (Three media in the lap of the conservative billionaire Vincent Bolloré)drew a parallel with anti-Semitic posters from the years 1930-1940.

LFI denounced “foul -smelling accusations” which it imputes “essentially” to “far -right activists relayed by CNews, Europe 1 and the JDD”. LFI said it had replaced the visual to “end it”. The movement also underlines that its campaign to call to demonstrate on March 22 includes “visuals with several media personalities”, such as the presenter of CNews Pascal Praud, “who contribute to the relay of extreme right ideas”.
