French President Emmanuel Macron warns that antisemitism is resurging in France as the country marks the legacy of Alfred Dreyfus. Speaking on Sunday at a ceremony honoring Captain Alfred Dreyfus, Macron calls for continued vigilance against antisemitism, describing it as a recurring force that has affected France in both the past and present. The commemoration highlights Dreyfus’s wrongful 19th-century conviction for treason, a case widely seen as exposing deep anti-Jewish bias within French society and institutions. Sources agree that Macron links the historical lesson of the Dreyfus affair to current concerns about antisemitic attitudes and threats. While the outlets differ slightly in wording, they consistently report that Macron characterizes antisemitism as returning and urges a sustained effort to prevent it from taking root again. The ceremony focuses on remembering Dreyfus and reaffirming France’s commitment to confronting antisemitism, including through ongoing public awareness and prevention measures.
