The year 2023 was marked by "a decline in the level of tolerance towards others," according to Nonna Mayer, a member of the French National Consultative Commission on Human Rights (CNCDH), which is publishing its annual report on the fight against racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia. "Each time the political elites stigmatise the foreigner, the immigrant, the other, or in the 30s and 40s when Jews were stigmatised, the responsibility is immense. That's what gets people's opinions moving," stresses the researcher at the CNRS and the Centre for European Studies at Sciences Po. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
