TL;DR Summary

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has faced criticism for planning to attend a march against rising antisemitism in France, with critics arguing that her party, the National Rally, has not fully shed its antisemitic heritage. Despite efforts to distance herself from her father, who was convicted of antisemitic hate speech, Le Pen's party president recently stated that he does not believe Jean-Marie Le Pen is antisemitic, reviving the link between past and present. The French government has stated that the National Rally does not have a place at the march, but it is a public event and individuals are free to participate. The march was called in response to a significant increase in antisemitic acts in France since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
