SHAFAQNA- France’s Government Spokesman accuses far-right Catholic Party Civitas of advocating war against the state, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism.
Following a Cabinet meeting, government’s Spokesman Olivier Veran announced the decision to dissolve Civitas, which had operated as an association since 1999 before becoming a political party in 2016.
According to Veran, Civitas promotes a hierarchy among French citizens, with these clearly anti-Semites and Islamophobes. He accused the movement of attempting to “declare war on the state,” including by using “force.”
The movement, which calls itself a “traditionalist Catholic lobby,” aims to “re-Christianize France” and has used anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
