French Jewish Organization Calls for Blockade of Presidential Candidate Marine Le Pen and 'Massive Vote' for Far-Left President Emmanuel Macron

The Crif, the umbrella organization for French Jewry, called for a “blockade” of French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, as well as a “massive vote for President Emmanuel Macron as France faces off in its second presidential round.
After Macron led the first round with 4% between him and Le Pen, the Crif cited the “weakening of the Republican camp and the dangerous strengthening of the populist parties of the far-right and the far left, in particular the votes for Le Pen, Jean-Luc Melenchon and Eric Zemmour,” as the reasoning behind their announcement.
The organization said in a statement that there needs to be a united Jewish vote to “prevent the far-right from gaining power.”
