(Anadolu) French President Emmanuel Macron vowed Thursday to resist “political Islam,” which he said is a threat and seeks [secession] from the republic.
Macron made the remarks during a press conference at the Elysee Palace to unveil his policy response to the Yellow Vest protests following a three-month-long national debate.
“Political Islam wants to secede from our republic,” he said, asking the government to be “intractable” against it.
“We are talking about people who, in the name of a religion, pursue a political project,” he said.
He said the control of funds from abroad to some organizations should also be strengthened.
