 Parallel to the controversy over the flags, Filipetti published an article in the left-oriented French newspaper "Libération" in which she warned against the antisemitism that seemed to plague their own camp.It was an attack on her fellow leftists for turning a blind eye at what she characterized as the clearly anti-leftist character of some parts of their rallies and demonstrations.The article essentially accused certain members of the French left of being hypocrites (for allegedly tolerating the same kind of racist behavior that they were protesting against), and, as such, it came as a major shock and sparked much controversy.
