The Crif of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes expresses grave concern over the political agreement between Lyon's mayor Grégory Doucet and LFI candidate Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi.
The Crif, the Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions, has voiced serious apprehensions regarding a political agreement reached between the incumbent green mayor of Lyon, Grégory Doucet, and Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi, a candidate from the far-left party La France Insoumise (LFI). This coalition, labeled as an 'union of shame' by the Crif, reflects deepening concerns about political accountability, particularly considering LFI's historical controversies surrounding anti-Semitism. Chantal Devillez, the regional director of the Crif, claimed that Doucet's decision goes beyond mere electoral strategy and raises significant moral and republican responsibilities.
