Description
The Paris Court of Appeals rejects a request to postpone the trial of far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, who is charged with disputing crimes against humanity after arguing in 2019 that Marshal Philippe Pétain had "saved" French Jews. His lawyer, Olivier Pardo, who had requested the postponement of the trial, immediately left the courtroom, denouncing an "unfair" decision. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
