France to ban far-right groups over antisemitism
By EUobserver
French president Emmanuel Macron has said France would ban three far-right groups - Bastion Social, Blood and Honour Hexagone, and Combat 18 - and adopt a tougher definition of antisemitism in reaction to a spike in hate crimes, such as recent vandalism of Jewish graves. "Europe, and most Western democracies, seem to be facing a resurgence of antisemitism unseen since World War II," Macron said.
