AKIPRESS.COM - Thousands of people have joined protests across France against a spate of anti-Semitic attacks, BBC reports.

The demonstrators marched under the slogan "That's Enough" at the Place de la République in the capital Paris and other cities.

Figures from across the political spectrum, including former Presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, joined too.

Just hours earlier Jewish graves at a cemetery were desecrated.

In a tweet last week, Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party, first called on people to gather in Paris for a protest on Tuesday.

The event was later organised with the endorsement of more than 50 political parties, unions and associations.

No official number has been reported, but similar demonstrations were reported in 60 cities including Marseille, Bordeaux and Nantes.
