法總統(tǒng)候選人為反猶太漫畫(huà)道歉
France's troubled conservative presidential candidate Francois Fillon has apologized for his party's anti-Semitic tweet of rival Emmanuel Macron.
"The political battle is tough enough, but it must remain dignified," Fillon said Sunday. "I will not tolerate my party publishing caricatures that use the codes of anti-Semitic propaganda."
Fillon said he has always fought against such thinking and has asked Republican Party officials to take action against whomever was responsible.
The image tweeted Friday shows Macron with a hooked nose, a top hot, and cutting a cigar with a red sickle.
France's Vichy government which collaborated with the Nazis were notorious for using such cartoons during World War II.
Allegations of anti-Semitism is the latest of Fillon's problems.
He was once favored to win the French presidency, but now trails Macron and far-right candidate Marine Le Pen.
His once thriving campaign has been damaged by a financial scandal in which he is accused of paying his wife huge sums of public money for a phony job as a parliamentary assistant. Fillon has denied wrongdoing.
The French newspaper Journal du Dimanche also reports Fillon accepted a gift of two suits from an exclusive French clothing shop which far exceeds the legal limit of donations for presidential candidates.
The first round of the election is set for April 23, followed by a runoff for the top two finishers two weeks later.
法國(guó)陷入困境的保守派總統(tǒng)候選人菲永為他的政黨在推特上發(fā)表反猶太人漫畫(huà)攻擊競(jìng)選對(duì)手馬克龍而表示道歉。
菲永星期天說(shuō)，“政治斗爭(zhēng)已經(jīng)夠艱難，但它必須保持尊嚴(yán)。”他說(shuō)，“我不會(huì)容忍我的政黨發(fā)表的漫畫(huà)中使用反猶太主義宣傳代碼。”
菲永說(shuō)，他一直反對(duì)這種想法，并已經(jīng)要求共和黨官員對(duì)責(zé)任者采取行動(dòng)。
星期五在推特上發(fā)表的圖片顯示，馬克龍有鷹鉤鼻，戴禮帽，用一把紅色鐮刀在切雪茄。
法國(guó)在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間與納粹合作的維希政府就以使用這樣的漫畫(huà)臭名昭著。
被控反猶太主義是菲永面臨的最新問(wèn)題。
他曾經(jīng)是贏得法國(guó)總統(tǒng)的熱門(mén)人選，但現(xiàn)在落在馬克龍和極右翼候選人勒龐之后。
他一度生機(jī)勃勃的競(jìng)選由于他被控以議會(huì)助理的假工作為名付給妻子大筆公共資金的財(cái)務(wù)丑聞而受到破壞。菲永否認(rèn)有違法行為。
法國(guó)報(bào)紙還報(bào)道，菲永接受了來(lái)自法國(guó)專賣(mài)店贈(zèng)送的兩件衣服，價(jià)值遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)了對(duì)總統(tǒng)候選人獲得捐贈(zèng)的法定限額。
法國(guó)總統(tǒng)第一輪選舉定于4月23日舉行，在那兩周之后將是前兩名候選人的對(duì)決。
