Question 12802 — public order

Summary

Mr. Raphaël Arnault alerts the Minister of the Interior regarding the wave of violent attacks by the small far-right group “La Cockarde Student” which have been perpetrated in recent days. On the occasion of the CROUS elections in the faculties which take place from February 3 to 5, 2026, several students and unionists were targeted by activists from “La Cocarde Studente”. Several faculties were the scene of these attacks, notably in Aix-en-Provence where a student who refused to take a leaflet from the far-right union was subjected to a violent attack by five members of “La Cocarde Student” who insulted him, threatened him and dealt him several blows. In Nanterre, a group of 25 people made up of members of the “Student Cockade” but also older people, outside the faculty and who accompanied them, carried out an attack of rare violence on campus against several students. Hooded and armed with brass knuckles and bats, they notably hit a student in the head, which caused head trauma and impaired vision and hearing. Another student was injured in the hands, causing him to lose a lot of blood. Other attacks also took place on the Grenoble and Lyon campuses. These attacks continue several goals. They aim first to establish a climate of terror within universities, to prevent the action of student organizations committed to greater social justice and equality. They also seek to discourage the electoral participation of students, in the hope of influencing the distribution of seats within representative bodies. These acts are part of an attempt to promote a ideological project based on discriminatory and racist measures, such as the so-called “national priority”. The “La Cocarde Student” group is also part of a dynamic of radical one-upmanship in the face of other far-right organizations, notably the “UNI” union, whose national leader was recently filmed making Nazi salutes. Faced with the intensification of violence attributed to “La Cocarde student”, a rapid reaction from the ministry is required. The MP therefore questions the Minister on the actions he plans to implement in order to avoid new attacks and aggressions and to guarantee the safety of students on campuses in the face of threats from small far-right groups. He would also like to know if there are plans to initiate, by decree taken in the Council of Ministers, a dissolution procedure administrative of “La Cockade Student” on the basis of article L. 212-1 of the internal security code.
