Tabled by Manon Aubry, Damien Carême, Rima Hassan · The Left
Added: 10a. Notes that the report entitled ‘Frères musulmans et islamisme politique en France’ (Muslim Brotherhood and political Islamism in France), published by the French Ministry of the Interior in May 2025, is largely based on the statements of self-proclaimed experts whose work has been repeatedly criticised for a lack of methodological rigour and for advancing unverified narratives ; underlines that several of these individuals were identified in a 2022 investigation by European Investigative Collaborations, following revelations by The New Yorker, as being connected to networks supported by anti-democratic foreign actors and involved in a coordinated campaign aimed at discrediting Muslim civil society organisations across Europe;
