Rima Hassan, a newly elected MEP from La France Insoumise, is under scrutiny after participating in a pro-Hamas demonstration in Amman, Jordan.

Her actions have prompted 51 Renaissance deputies to request the lifting of her parliamentary immunity, citing her involvement as a provocation to racial hatred and an endorsement of terrorism.

The demonstration featured tributes to Hamas leader Ismaïl Haniyeh, killed in Tehran, and included slogans perceived as anti-Semitic.

Hassan, however, denies these allegations, asserting that the gathering was a routine pro-Palestinian event.

The deputies have also filed a legal complaint, urging disciplinary measures to uphold European Union values.

The controversy has sparked a broader debate on the limits of political expression and the responsibilities of elected officials.
