The conference organized by a pro-Palestinian student association was to host Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Rima Hassan at the University of Lille this Thursday. It will finally take place in a private room in Lille.
In question, the presence of the logo of the organizing association, Libre Palestine, on the poster presenting the conference. The logo, under the name "Free Palestine," represents a territory which includes Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. "We cannot tolerate, in a French university, such a conference by La France Insoumise, who, through the logo," deny the existence of the State of Israel," the LR president of Hauts-de-France, Xavier Bertrand, was indignant on X Monday. If the Lille faculty closed the doors of its enclosure to the rebels, the meeting found refuge elsewhere.'
