Question 15154 — associations and foundations

Summary

Mr. Hadrien Clouet alerts the Minister of the Interior to the indirect financing by the State of neo-Nazi organizations. Tuesday May 7, 2026, Basta media! published an in-depth investigation into how around twenty neo-Nazi and identity groups benefit from tax-exempt donations. Indeed, since 1989, French legislation has allowed donors to benefit from an exemption of 66% of the amount of their donations allocated to associations. of general interest. However, a certain number of associations inciting anti-Semitic, racist, Islamophobic and LGBTophobic hatred proclaim themselves to be of general interest and offer on their websites and social media to send tax receipts giving entitlement to a tax reduction of 66% of the amount of the donation. Among these associations, the Whistleblower Support Association (Asla), created in 2021 by former activists from Génération Identitaire recently dissolved, its mission is to “provide moral, material and financial support to whistleblowers and actively fight for the pluralism of currents of thought and opinion in the French media”. It actually serves as a cover to collect tax-exempt donations redistributed exclusively to neo-Nazi organizations. To date, more than 160,000 euros have passed through this channel. Such a structure relays also calls for donations from third-party fascist organizations and creates online prize pools for them. Patria Albiges, Aurora Lorraine, Némésis, Argos, Les Remparts, La Traboule, Top Sport Rhône, Les Natifs, have greatly benefited from it. The Asla association also publicly displays its political support for fascist figures from Reconquête!, GRECE, the Iliade Institute, etc. In addition to her “thrower” prize, she presents warning against Islamism” to a man sentenced to eight months in prison. Asla therefore provides financial support to far-right activists prosecuted and convicted for provoking hatred. The Association for Support of Identity and Patriotic Movements (Asmip) uses identical methods and uses the same screens. It is based in Lille and is chaired by a member of Génération identitaire and ex-treasurer of the far-right association La Citadelle dissolved in 2024. Asmip is organizing calls for donations and has collected several tens of thousands of euros, from which the small neofascist group from Tours Des Tours et des lys, or even the far-right movement Novelum Carcassonne, as well as the neo-Nazi music group Francs-Tireurs Patriotes, initiator of the "rock" concert, have benefited. Aryan.” Other extreme associations right also receive tax-free donations via the HelloAsso platform, including Romulus and Rémus chaired by the lawyer of the Committee of May 9, which organizes the far-right march regularly banned. All of this funding for seditious groups and individuals, collected through potentially tax-exempt donations, is therefore subsidized by public money. Referred to by the chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Coquerel, the Minister of Public Accounts announced the opening of an inspection mission in order to shed light on these misuses of the law by small anti-Republican groups. In order for the Republic to stop financing factious organizations that are plotting its overthrow, he asks it what significant measures it intends to take against them.
