Sunday, an investigation by the Metz prosecutor's office was opened to find the young woman.
The same day, the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (Licra), announced its intention to file a complaint.
"We are very clearly in the presence of a sign with assumed anti-Semitism", we "must be intractable", underlined the Licra.
The political class has also reacted a lot to the image of this demonstrator.
"Appalling and revolting", denounced on Twitter Geneviève Darrieussecq, Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Armed Forces, in charge of Memory and Veterans.
“Anti-Semitism killed yesterday and still kills today.
Anti-Semitism is not an opinion.
It is an offense, which must be systematically condemned, ”added the Minister for Equality, Elisabeth Moreno.
