The cluster “Bordeaux Nationalist“, assimilated to the far right, was dissolved by decree this Wednesday in the Council of Ministers, announced the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin. According to the text of the decision, Bordeaux Nationaliste is considered as “provoking violent acts against persons or property“.
In addition, the Bordeaux organization would deploy “a strategy of recruiting new members by exalting the use of violence“. She “claims its right to self-defense and organizes, with this objective and since October 5, 2020, boxing training for the benefit of its members and supporters“.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon reacted on Twitter, congratulating the Minister of the Interior “for having dissolved the Bordeaux Nationalist group which assaulted our meeting on the spot “, judging that”we must continue and pursue attempts to reconstitute dissolved leagues“. This decision also comes six months after a letter from opposition municipal councilor Fabien Robert (MoDem), who had asked to the Minister of the Interior the dissolution of this group.
“A selection of miscellaneous facts on social networks”
Bordeaux Nationaliste is also accused of organizing events promoting negationist and collaborationist figures. The small group organized in 2022 a march in “honoring the dead of february 6“, echoing the anti-parliamentary demonstration of February 6, 1934, in which several far-right figures participated. The decree emphasizes that this small group gave birth to the collaborationist journalist Robert Brasillach, “condemned for intelligence with the enemyand shot on February 6, 1945.
The far-right organization is also accused of “select various facts relayed on social networks, systematically highlighting the foreign origins of the defendants, thus creating an amalgam“.
By another decree adopted during the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, the Islamist association “Alerters“, based in Occitanie, has also been dissolved, announces Gérald Darmanin, in particular because “its leaders minimized the attacks and disseminated homophobic and anti-Semitic remarks“.
