DISPATCH — Friday, June 23, on Twitter, the “Anticor” association announced that it had lost its approval following a judgment by the administrative court. She denounces “a serious attack on democracy, as well as on freedoms of association”.
In theory, the government approval allowing the association to take legal action was to last until April 2024. But, following an “excess of power” appeal dating from June 2021, the administrative court cut short to overtime.

Two hours after the announcement, the hashtag #JeSoutiensAnticor is a figurehead in Twitter trends. On the network, when we have just learned of the dissolution of the movement “Earth Uprisings“, the left is in turmoil. Sandrine Rousseau accuses the blow: “Without checks and balances, more democracy. And the situation is becoming really worrying in France.”

Beyond the media impact that this announcement may have, it is also a question of evaluating the consequences of the end of Anticor in legal terms. Although it requested a deferral in time of the effects in the event of cancellation, the association explains that the court’s decision applies “with retroactive effect to April 2, 2021”. This means that recent cases in which Anticor plays a prominent role could be sabotaged. “Many cases in progress, at the highest level, could be threatened if Anticor lost its ability to bring civil action on behalf of all French people,” warned Elise Van Beneden, president of the association.
