Orléans – While this January 27 commemorates the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, Fanny Picard, municipal councilor (UDI) of Orléans, testifies on her Twitter account to a brawl in the night, rue de Bourgogne, during which were uttered negationist and antisemitic remarks such as “Death to the Jews” or “The concentration camps never existed”.
1h20 à Orléans sur le chemin pour rentrer chez moi « MORT AUX JUIFS, LES CAMPS DE CONCENTRATION N’ONT JAMAIS EXISTÉ ». Ce soir démontre une fois encore que l’idéologie fasciste et antisémite perdure. Le combat n’est pas terminé.

The elected official immediately alerted the municipal police who put the four attackers to flight, leaving behind a victim who preferred not to file a complaint.
This antisemitic attack is obviously to be attributed to a violent extreme right in Orléans and it is to be hoped that the much vaunted video-surveillance of the city will make it possible to quickly identify these notorious antisemites who seem to have been raging with impunity in Orléans for some time now as during the attack on the Théâtre d’Orléans.
LICRA Loiret, CRIF Center, AJC Orléans and UFA Loiret denounced the seriousness of the facts in a press release.
