Its personnel used drones to prevent the crossing of immigrants ... France begins the solution to the extreme-right "Identity Generation"

French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan announced that the authorities have begun measures to dissolve the extremist right-wing "Generation of Identity" group against immigrants, as has long been calling for many associations and political parties in the country.

And the French Interior Minister wrote - in a tweet on Twitter - yesterday evening, "The generation of identity ... the procedures for the solution have begun."

He added that this organization now has 10 days to present its arguments.

Darmanan had talked about these measures on January 26, and said he was "shocked" after an anti-immigrant operation carried out by this small group in the French Pyrenees, which led to the opening of a preliminary investigation on charges of "inciting racial hatred in a public place."

The anti-racism organization SOS Racisme filed a complaint.

About 30 activists from the far-right group were deployed in cars that were written "In Defense of Europe" on January 19, near the Spanish border, and some of them used drones to monitor the borders.

According to the Internal Security Act, small group actions can be considered "incitement to discrimination, hatred, or violence against a person or group of persons because of their origins."

The leader of the far-right National Rally Party, Marine Le Pen, objected on January 27th to the "Identity Generation" solution, stressing the importance of freedom of expression.

"What shockes Darmanan must be resolved," she said. "This is not the rule of law."

Last December, the Appeals Court in Grenoble (southeast) acquitted the group and 3 of its cadres for previous anti-immigrant operations in 2018 in the French Alps at the French-Italian border.

In 2019, many far-right groups were declared disbanded at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron.

But it seems that the solution to the "generation of identity" is more difficult, and the French Ministry of the Interior affirmed that "they are smarter than others. They tried as much as possible not to cross the yellow lines, but they are pushing things forward a little each time."

The headquarters of this group is located in Lyon (southeast), but it also has a historical branch in Paris and branches in many other cities;

In the south, in Dijon, Aix-en-Provence and Montpellier, as well as in Normandy (west).
