Oxford Reform Society president accused over antisemitic writings

Oxford University’s Reform Society president, Vittorio Cuneo-Flood, has been accused of antisemitism after writings he published in a Catholic newsletter in 2024 described the “Jewish nation” as aligned with Satan and called antisemitism a “false notion”. The remarks have renewed scrutiny of the society and its plans to host speakers whose views have drawn criticism.

Cuneo-Flood, a fourth-year classics student, became president this year after joining Oxford in 2023. The Recusant is linked to the Society of Saint Pius X, which includes Holocaust denier Richard Williamson. The society is also hosting Reform MP Andrew Rosindell and activist Lucy White, while a planned Oxford talk by academic Nathan Cofnas has prompted objections, a letter of support from more than 170 academics and a demonstration planned by Stand Up to Racism. Cuneo-Flood declined to comment on his articles.
