In a significant move ahead of the French legislative elections, both the Rassemblement National (RN) and Eric Ciotti have withdrawn their support for two candidates due to antisemitic remarks.
The RN distanced itself from Joseph Martin in Morbihan after he posted an antisemitic tweet, while Eric Ciotti retracted his endorsement of Louis-Joseph Pecher in Meurthe-et-Moselle for similar reasons. This decision underscores a zero-tolerance stance on antisemitism within French political parties as they navigate the complexities of forming alliances and vetting candidates.
The controversies highlight the ongoing challenges political entities face in moderating their members' conduct on social media.
