After the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, the executive hammered home that it was determined to fight against Islamism.

But after the firmness displayed, some in the government fear a mixed result. 

ANALYSIS

How to fight against Islamism?

After the assassination of Samuel Paty, a history professor beheaded after showing caricatures of Mohammed to his students, the executive wants to take action.

With arrests, searches and dissolutions of associations, Gérald Darmanin wants to "terrorize the terrorists".

But it must do so while respecting the rule of law.

And it is not that simple.

The evictions ordered by Gérald Darmanin take time

The people currently in police custody cannot stay there for more than five days, some of them have already left without the justice taking anything against them.

As for the 231 expulsions of Islamists ordered by the Minister of the Interior on Saturday, they take time, because the agreement of the country of birth is required.

Gérald Darmanin, who planned to go to Algeria next weekend to obtain the agreement to expel Algerian nationals, finally saw his trip being postponed by the authorities.

Official reason: "the referendum campaign for the revision of the Algerian constitution".

Associations threatened with dissolution will fight

As for the first searches, they are considered rather disappointing because many Islamists had been preparing for it for a long time.

And then, the associations threatened with dissolution, let it be known: they will fight in the field of law, convinced of winning.

Finally, the leaders of the Pantin mosque that the state will close will fight by filing appeals.

A prefect sums up the problem: "the Islamists are using democracy and the rule of law to kill France and the Republic".
