On Wednesday, a national tribute must be paid by Emmanuel Macron to the 42 French victims who died during the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7. But the presence of certain LFI elected officials at this ceremony, despite the opposition of the victims' families, is controversial. “It’s cynicism,” said Aurore Bergé, the minister responsible for equality between women and men, on the set of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews.

Four months to the day after the Hamas attack on Israel which left more than 1,160 victims, President Emmanuel Macron will pay a national tribute to the 42 French people who lost their lives during this bloody attack. This ceremony is to be held at Les Invalides, which will begin at 1 p.m. in the presence of 1,000 people, including the families of the victims. But it is above all the presence of certain elected officials from France Insoumise which would cause controversy, while their party refuses to qualify Hamas as a terrorist organization and their participation in this ceremony is very frowned upon by those close to the victims. 

“How can you imagine going to a tribute which is primarily for murdered French people, when the families themselves ask you not to come?”, asked Aurore Bergé, the minister responsible for Equality. between women and men, on the set of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews.
