“It's important to show firmness immediately, to characterise the act and to say that this will not pass in our society, there are a variety of people and groups who say no, this is not possible. Because we must never forget that when these types of acts are allowed to flourish, we quickly fall into vicious circles. We can see that the situation in our country has deteriorated considerably, particularly since 7 October, with an explosion in the number of antisemitic acts.”

STORYLINE:
A few dozen people gathered in solidarity against racism, antisemitism, and all forms of discrimination in Paris on Sunday.
The gathering was in response to a criminal attack on the synagogue in La Grande-Motte on Saturday.
French police have apprehended and detained the suspect behind the arson attack on a synagogue in a southwestern Mediterranean town that injured a police officer, the country's acting interior minister said early Sunday.
Two cars parked at the Beth Yaacov synagogue complex in the seaside resort town of La Grande Motte near Montpellier were set ablaze just after 8 a.m. (0600 GMT) Saturday, the National Antiterrorism Prosecutor's Office said in a statement Saturday.
Five people, including the rabbi, who were present in the synagogue complex at the time of the attack were unharmed, it added.
