The government has decided to entrust a mission to two senior officials on “political Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood movement” responsible for submitting a report in the fall, announced the Ministry of the Interior in a press release published on Sunday, May 5.
This mission led by diplomat François Gouyette, who has been stationed in many Arab countries, and prefect Pascal Courtade must draw up a “state of the art of the influence of political Islam in France”.
This work is presented as being in line with the speech of Mureaux (Yvelines) on separatism pronounced by Emmanuel Macron in 2020 and which led to the law on respect for the principles of the Republic of 2021.
“Islamist separatism is a theorized political-religious project, characterized by repeated deviations from the principles of the Republic aimed at building a counter-society”, is written in the press release released on Sunday evening.
“The Muslim Brotherhood movement plays a major role in the dissemination of such a system of thought,” assures the press release.
