\"AA cartoon published by the center-right French Les Republicains party on March 10, 2017, that seems to employ well-known anti-Semitic tropes in its depiction of rival presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron. (Twitter)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

France\u2019s center-right presidential candidate Francois Fillon denounced on Saturday an \u201canti-Semitic\u201d caricature of rival Emmanuel Macron put out by his own Les R\u00e9publicains party.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cartoon, quickly taken down after it was posted on the party\u2019s Twitter account on Friday, depicted the centrist Macron, a former banker, with a hooked nose and top hat, carrying a red sickle with which he was cutting a cigar. Associates and supporters from the French left and center were shown around him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fillon, a former prime minister, has lagged in polls amid allegations that he had secured fictitious public service jobs for his wife and children.<\/span>
\n He was scathing Saturday in his criticism of the cartoon.<\/span>
\n \u201cThe fight is tough but it must remain dignified,\u201d he said in a statement, vowing not to \u201ctolerate that his own party is broadcasting caricatures containing the codes of anti-Semitic propaganda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He urged disciplinary measured be taken against any party officials responsible for the post.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the Macron camp, the candidate\u2019s spokesman Benjamin Griveaux called it \u201cextremely worrying\u201d that the caricature \u201cdraws on the anti-Semitic imagination.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Faced with a public outcry over the cartoon, the Republicains party offered its \u201capologies\u201d on Friday night and, just six hours after it had gone up, replaced the picture attached to the original tweet with a simple photo of Mr. Macron.<\/span><\/p>\n

A poll published this weekend saw the centrist Macron in first place ahead of the first round of the French presidential election set for April 23, ahead of second-place far-right candidate Marine Le Pen. Fillon is in third place.<\/span><\/p>\n
