Overview

• Bruno Retailleau has published a 28-page manifesto titled 'Ne rien céder: manifeste contre l’islamisme,' based on a March 31 speech in London, outlining ideological and legal strategies against political Islam.
• Retailleau warns that the Muslim Brotherhood may leverage municipal elections in 2026 to secure influence, offering votes in exchange for candidate placements on electoral lists.
• He plans to release a detailed report on the Muslim Brotherhood’s alleged 'entrisme,' describing their actions as anti-republican and subversive to French society.
• The manifesto critiques the legal framework for prioritizing individual rights over collective sovereignty and advocates for reforms to strengthen national identity and security.
• Retailleau’s choice of terminology, rejecting 'islamophobie' in favor of 'antimusulman,' has drawn criticism, particularly following his muted response to a recent anti-Muslim murder in Gard.
