Overview
- At the National Assembly inquiry, Jean‑Luc Mélenchon said LFI will never accept religious entryism and argued the commission’s own hearings show no proven links between his movement and Islamists.
- The LR‑led commission, chaired by Xavier Breton with Matthieu Bloch as rapporteur, is nearing the end of its work around December 10 and is also hearing Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.
- LFI filed an Article 40 referral asking prosecutors to examine alleged ties between the UAE and Écran de veille journalists linked to the study, while denouncing the Ifop poll’s methodology and impact.
- Écran de veille’s editor Atmane Tazaghart rejected any foreign financing, said the study was paid from the outlet’s revenues, and urged accusers to provide evidence of external influence.
- Ifop has lodged a complaint against LFI MPs Paul Vannier and Bastien Lachaud for denigrating the survey, while CDCMs filed complaints and Ecran de veille reported a separate legal complaint after its address was publicized and threats were alleged.
