In a statement, the ministry said that the publications apparently meet the definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and approved by France in February 2019: "The judicial system will determine whether criminal prosecution is justified," it noted.

"Although there are no longer any contractual ties between her and the ministry, an administrative investigation into the conditions of her recruitment will be carried out from today, at the request of Minister Catherine Colonna, "The minister reiterates very firmly that hatred, extremism and violence by definition are incompatible with the conduct of France's foreign policy directly or indirectly."
