Original Title: Marine Le Pen and her far-right RN party say they will attend Sunday’s march against antisemitism in the French capital. But other parties say they refuse to march alongside a party founded by antisemites

This is the best summary I could come up with:
In 1973, Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine’s father, who fought in the Algerian War, founded the party with former paratroopers, supporters of the Vichy regime, antisemites and also members of the violent far-right student organization Groupe Union Defense (GUD).
In recent weeks, Marine Le Pen has left the public in no doubt as to whose side she is on in the current conflict in the Middle East.
After Marine Le Pen replaced her father as the leader of the Front National in 2011, she expelled known antisemites from the party, and even Jean-Marie himself eventually.
The founder and president of the Sons and Daughters of the Jewish Deportees of France has said that he supports Le Pen’s participation in the upcoming demonstration against antisemitism.
“The friends of the unconditional support for the massacre have their rendezvous,” wrote LFI leader Jean-Luc Melenchon on X, referring to Israel’s war against Hamas.
For Jacob Ross, a research fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations who is focused on Franco-German ties, the current debate shows the limits of the so-called “firewall” against the far right in France.
