(National-UAE) The French government on Monday said it would take new measures to tackle the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence in France, including the disbanding of endowment funds and a new asset-freeze mechanism.
An official 74-page report on the Muslim Brotherhood “required more ambitious proposals” from the state, the Elysee said in a statement, after a high-level meeting with a small group of cabinet members.
The council meeting was also intended to bolster the implementation of a 2021 “anti-separatism” law, which has enabled the shutting down of hundreds of schools, businesses and sports associations suspected to have ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.
The government will launch a campaign to raise awareness about the group ahead of the next municipal elections in March 2026. Hospital staff and sports teachers will be targeted, the Elysee said.
