France Considers Adding the Brotherhood to the 'Terrorism List'

SadaNews - The French National Assembly's website reported that a session will be held by the Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday to discuss a European resolution aimed at adding the Brotherhood organization to the European list of terrorist organizations.

The European Affairs Committee in the National Assembly is reviewing a resolution proposed by the Republicans party, which aims to add the Brotherhood organization to the EU's list of terrorist organizations.

According to French media reports, the text of the resolution will be included in the agenda for the parliamentary session dedicated to the Republicans bloc on January 22.

French sources indicated that the resolution is not a bill.

The Republicans justified the submission of this resolution based on a report published by the Ministry of the Interior last May, which focused on the Brotherhood organization. Additionally, the committee's vote does not determine the final outcome of the text.

Deputy Éric Pauget, from the Republicans party, stated in the explanatory note attached to the resolution: "Although the Brotherhood does not directly claim responsibility for terrorist acts, it contributes to building the idea of the 'internal enemy' in thought and society."

The resolution differs from a bill. Since July 2008, Article 34-1 of the Constitution stipulates that "legislative councils may adopt resolutions" to express a position on a specific subject.

However, if these resolutions are adopted, the government is not obliged to enact legislation regarding them.
