Angry Macron, Attal Overborn – Liberation

For the time being, Bruno Retailleau presides « only » the Les Républicains party. During the Defense council dedicated to the Muslim Brotherhoodthis Wednesday, May 21 in the morning at the Elysée, Emmanuel Macron pushed a rant against the flight from the day before in Le Figaro of the report which was to serve as the basis for the discussions. The Minister of the Interior, the first recipient of This text commissioned a year ago to a prefect and an ambassadorwas targeted by presidential anger. Without appointing it, Macron pronounced a small sermon on « The meaning of the state », incompatible with the leaks in the press « On such a serious subject ». « He knows how to be freezing », comments a participant.

In an equally warm press release, the palace then summoned the government of « Formulate new proposals » By June, insinuating that those presented on Wednesday were not at the level. And that it is he who remains at the controls of the fight against Islamism, despite his loss of majority in the Assembly last summer. « This is a subject on national unity, which crosses the intelligence services, the defense, the interior and the foreign affairs, therefore it is in the reserved domain », Are we barricate at the Elysée, where the president’s anteriority is claimed on the subject: Speech in October 2020 at Mureaux (Yvelines), separatism law passed in 2021and command of the famous report on the Muslim Brotherhood a year ago.

It has been a few days since the President and LR compete for the authorship of the fight against a « Islamist entrism ». The president of the Hauts-de-France region, Xavier Bertrand, has modestly presented himself in « Alert launcher » on France 2 to have deprived of subsidies The private high school under Averroes contract in Lille. Her counterpart from Ile-de-France, Valérie Pécresse, has exhumed over X A video of an interview of 2020 on BFMTV in which she was already attacking « Radical Islamist entrism ». Bruno Retailleau accused the Muslim Brotherhood of wanting « Topping all French society in Sharia law ». « This time, Islamophobia crosses a threshold, alerted Jean-Luc Mélenchon to X. A defense council around the president accredits the delusional theses of Retailleau and Le Pen. That’s enough! You will destroy our country. « 

Breaking with Macronie, the deputy and ex-president of the Law Commission, Sacha Houlié denounces a wrong political reading of the report on entrism. On the contrary, he sees it as the effectiveness of the separatism law, of which he was co -rapporteur, pointing for example the sharp drop in foreign funding from the Muslim Brotherhood: « We make people believe that the Republic is assailed without any means of defending themselves, when it was the subject of a parliamentary debate four years ago and that we have all useful measures. »

Gabriel Attal also wants his share of the media cake. The Parisian « Get » Tuesday the sovereign proposals of the Renaissance party, which must be detailed next week. With a shock measure: The prohibition of the veil in public space for young girls under the age of 15. “I was baptized at six months. Are we going to ban baptism because it is imposed? ” replied to France Info the deputy François Ruffin,, criticizing a « Objective alliance with Islamists, who want to separate Muslims from the Republic ». Attal, he swears that Renaissance works with « Jurists, members of the Council of State ». Constitutional or not, his idea attracted to him a replication puts cameras this Wednesday in the Assembly. « What are we doing? It is said that it is not good that 5 -year -old girls are veiled and we consider that there are no measures to answer them ? he rengled. I have never agreed to resign myself to it. ” Faced with the Percée Snadagière by Bruno Retailleau, who doubles in a month and a half his voting intentions for the presidential election according to Harris Interactivean overbidding to the right, everything is taking shape. « The war of the chiefs began »amused himself on Wednesday a relative of Edouard Philippe in front of all this agitation around the Muslim Brotherhood.
