Generation Identity has 10 days to contest its dissolution
According to a message from Generation Identity posted on social networks, this campaign called "Defend Europe" intended to fight against "the risk of terrorism and migration in the Pyrenees".
"This massive immigration against which the different governments have never really fought, we, Identity Generation decided to oppose it concretely so we wanted to lend a hand to the police," Thais d'Escufon, a spokesperson for Génération Identitaire in Toulouse, present on the Pyrenean operation.
After having been notified of the Place Beauvau decision, the groupuscule has 10 days to respond.
If it does not provide any convincing evidence in the case, the dissolution of Génération Identitaire could be pronounced within two weeks by the Head of State in the Council of Ministers.
