In June 2023, a French police union said they were at war with "vermin". Unions representing half of French police added that unless officers enjoy still greater legal protection and more resources in the future, "tomorrow we will be in resistance". Marine Tondelier described it as “an appeal for civil war”.[8][9]

On 12 November 2023, she took part in the March for the Republic and Against Antisemitism in Paris in response to the rise in antisemitism since the start of the Israel–Hamas war.[10]
