Tens of thousands are expected to march in Paris against anti-semitism amid bickering by political parties over who should take part and a surge in anti-Semitic incidents across France, AFP reports.
More than 3,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed in the capital to maintain security at the “great civic march”, according to Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.
President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday that he would attend the “great civic march” in his “thoughts”.
“I’ll be there in my heart and in my thoughts,” Macron said after warning last week that anti-Semitism was on the rise again in France.
