France’s renowned Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld is advising voters in Sunday’s parliamentary elections that if they’re faced with a duel between Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally and a far-left competitor, they should choose the far right.
Serge Klarsfeld sits in his office, Tuesday, July 2, 2024 in Paris. France ’s renowned Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld advised voters faced with a duel between a candidate from Marine Le Pen ’s far-right National Rally and a far-left competitor to choose the far right in Sunday’s parliamentary elections runoff. Klarsfeld, a 88 year-old historian who with his wife Beate dedicated his life to bring fugitive Nazis to justice, told the Associated Press “it’s very simple.
Klarsfeld shocked many people in France, including those in the Jewish community, when he first stated this position on French television earlier this month.
Klarsfeld said he believes Marine Le Pen has transformed the party after expelling her father, embracing a French law that prohibits Holocaust denial and making pro-Jewish statements. Together with his wife, Beate, “we have always fought for the defense of Jewish memory, for the prosecution of Nazi criminals, against the antisemitic extreme right and for persecuted Jews around the world,” Klarsfeld said.
