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, according to a press release from the Interior Ministry.
This mission led by the diplomat François Gouyette, who has been stationed in numerous Arab countries, and the prefect Pascal Courtade must draw up an “inventory 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 the principles and values 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,” it is written in the press release released Sunday evening. “The Muslim Brotherhood movement plays a major role in the dissemination of such a system of thought,” the press release adds.
