The GUD (Union Defense Group) and three other ultra-right structures based in Lyon were dissolved on Wednesday June 26 in the Council of Ministers, announced government spokesperson Prisca Thévenot, a few days before the first round of the legislative elections.
Apart from the GUD, an ultra-right student union created in the 1970s and recently reactivated, the three other dissolved structures are the “de facto group” Les Remparts, as well as two associations, La Traboule and Top Sport Rhône. An Islamist association, Jonas Paris, was also dissolved on Wednesday.
