Mathilde Panot Speaks To The Press After The Withdraw Of The Yadan Bill

Mathilde Panot, President of the La France Insoumise - Nouveau Front Populaire parliamentary group, speaks to the press after the withdrawal of the Yadan bill at the National Assembly, the lower house of the French Parliament, in Paris, France, on April 16, 2026. The proposed bill, named after French lawmaker Caroline Yadan, aims to address new forms of anti-Semitism and was scheduled for debate on April 16 and 17. Opponents, particularly from the left, express concerns that the bill could impact freedom of expression and conflate Jews with Israel. (Photo by Adnan Farzat/NurPhoto)
