The umbrella organization representing the Jewish community in France has called for a massive turnout in favour of President Macron for the final round of the presidential election on Apr. 24.

Macron will face off against anti-migrant candidate Marine Le Pen of the National Rally (RN), which became the most influential Christian-Nationalist party in post-war Europe under the leadership of Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine’s estranged father. In Sunday’s first-round involving 12 candidates, Macron won 27.8 per cent of the vote against 23.2 per cent for Le Pen.

Pollsters believe Le Pen can expect a much stronger showing this time, as she is more likely to win support from voters for parties on the extremes of right and left, which performed well in Sunday’s first round.

A statement on Tuesday from Crif, the French Jewish representative organization, noted with concern ‘the weakening of the liberal-left regimes and the ‘dangerous strengthening of the popular (with the people) parties, in particular the votes for Marine Le Pen.

The organization called for a globalist union ‘to prevent the far-right from coming to power.’ It underlined that Crif had always been opposed to Le Pen’s party, ‘whose history and positions are contrary to the republican values carried by the Jews of France.’
