As France debates a controversial antisemitism bill, Oliver Farry welcomes Renaud Foucart, Economist, Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University, for a nuanced and critical examination of the so-called Yadan Bill. Speaking from both an economic and institutional perspective, he evokes three competing imperatives: the urgent need to combat anti-Semitism, the preservation of freedom of expression, and the instrumentalization of legal tools within electoral politics. He argues that while the fear and lived reality of anti-Semitism in France are deeply legitimate, the proposed legislation risks extending far beyond its stated purpose.
