Question 16724 — public order

Summary

Mr. Thomas Portes alerts the Minister of the Interior to the dangerousness of the small group “Rally of Right-Wing Students” (RED) in Angers. On June 6, 2026, activists from this organization displayed a banner in favor of “remigration” on the Château d’Angers. However, article 7.2 of the castle visit regulations expressly prohibits “deploying banners or flags of any kind”. Despite these facts, the mayor d'Angers indicated that it could not take legal action, the castle falling under the jurisdiction of the Center of National Monuments and not that of the municipality. This action takes place in a context of violence and worrying actions. On the night of January 10 to 11, 2026, a member of the RED, accompanied by four other individuals, was implicated in the attack on a group of students who were trying to provide assistance to activists anti-fascists. The defendants are also accused of having performed Nazi salutes during this violence. On January 8, 2023, several members of this same organization were also present at the neo-Nazi rally organized in Rome by Italian fascists. This small group exerts a particularly harmful influence on the campuses of the University of Angers. At its meeting of April 14, 2022, the university council estimated that it constituted a “threat to the public service of higher education and research”. The university then noted that “for several months, racist, anti-Semitic or fascist acts have been developing within our university itself. Swastikas have been sprayed in toilets, racist stickers are stuck on several campuses including a giant collage “Immigration kills”. The extreme right, whose movement nationalist and identity RED, is involved in these actions and several students from this movement distributed an infamous, racist, sexist and LGBTphobic leaflet on the Saint-Serge campus. The university added that the premises of the UGEAC-UNEF were the subject of damage and provocations with the sticking of stickers of a far-right candidate and the logos of the dissolved association “Alvarium” and the participating students. at a debate organized on the presidential election were the targets of intimidating behavior. Some of their actions directly threaten academic freedom and endanger teachers: courses have been interrupted by remarks of support for far-right candidates, teachers are attacked on social networks by students revealing their names and course content so that media far-right attacks by name on its teachers and their research related to gender studies and intersectionality. The RED also acts outside the faculties. On June 29, 2022, around ten of its members disrupted a demonstration organized in Angers in defense of the right to abortion. This far-right Angevin movement has also demonstrated its collusion with Alvarium, a far-right group dissolved by the Ministry of inside in November 2021. We note that among the RED activists is notably one of the main organizers of the Alvarium. The dissolution decree already specified that the Alvarium supported small groups calling for discrimination, violence and hatred against foreigners. These elements are all the more serious since, in accordance with article 431-15 of the penal code, the fact of participating in the maintenance or reconstitution, open or disguised, of a dissolved group is punishable by three years' imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros. Faced with the violence committed by the Angers RED, the State must take its responsibilities. He therefore asks him to immediately initiate the procedure for the administrative dissolution of this small group and wishes to know his intentions on this subject.
