Share on:

The French government has demanded explanations from Spanish airline Vueling after 50 French Jewish passengers were forced to disembark from a flight. The incident occurred on a flight returning from Spain.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot contacted Vueling CEO Carolina Martinoli, expressing the government's strong disapproval. The French Foreign Ministry stated that explanations were requested to determine if there had been discrimination based on religion.

Carolina Martinoli assured that a thorough internal investigation is underway and the findings will be communicated to French and Spanish authorities. The Spanish ambassador to France has also been asked to provide explanations.

Club Kineret, the organizer of the camp, intends to file a lawsuit against Vueling for violence and discrimination. Vueling claims that the teenagers exhibited "highly confrontational behavior."
