Question 1934 — public order

Summary

Mrs. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi alerts the Minister of the Interior to the presence and organization of small, far-right identity groups in the “Vieux-Lyon” district, located in his constituency. On the night of October 11, 2024, a woman was severely beaten by around fifteen individuals with hidden faces, under the pretext that she was wearing an anti-racist football club cap. Racist, homophobic and xenophobic attacks linked to The presence of these activists is endemic in the neighborhood and throughout the city of Lyon. Across the country, around ten attacks emanating from the far right have been foiled in recent years. In June 2024, the former Minister of the Interior dissolved the Les Remparts group and other associations, including those present on the rental lease for the premises called La Traboule, a rallying and organizing point for small groups. However, on September 30, 2024, around thirty identity activists marched in the streets, armed, to the rhythm of xenophobic chants. We were then able to see to what extent these dissolutions were proving ineffective: this stroll took place behind a banner previously used by the now dissolved collectives. Solutions exist to concretely combat far-right violence. On June 13, 2019, a parliamentary commission of inquiry rendered partial conclusions on the state of the threat from small far-right groups. Without digging into the links and networks of the extreme right among themselves, institutional and small groups, she was able to identify several thousand individuals preparing for violent acts. It is urgent to implement the recommendations of this transpartisan report, in particular by strengthening means of monitoring members of dissolved small groups and combating the reconstitution of dissolved small groups, by undertaking an additional effort to train agents of the national police and gendarmerie in the fight against hate crimes, by attaching particular importance to the monitoring of members or former members of the armed forces or internal security involved in ultra-right groups and by substantially strengthening Pharos' financial, technical and human resources. She therefore expressed her concern for the safety of the people of Lyon and questioned him about the intentions of the new Government in terms of the fight against small far-right groups who are sowing terror by imposing their violence in the heart of Lyon.
