Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced on Sunday, December 10, that he will request the dissolution of Academia Christiana, a movement of far-right traditionalist Catholics. “We will present their dissolution to the Council of Ministers in the coming weeks”he declared on the online media Brut.
“There are at least three other ultra-right groups” in the sights of the intelligence services, declared the Minister of the Interior, without giving details.
“Under the pretext of an alleged threat weighing on the French”this group “recurrently legitimizes physical violence and the use of weapons”, a source close to the matter told Agence France Presse. To do this, “she uses warlike vocabulary and explicitly encourages her militants to arm themselves and go on a “crusade””added this source. “On the other hand, and in line with this threat that threatens France, Academia Christiana presents “self-defense” as necessary”she said again.

Other affected groups
Founded in 2013 by young people close to the identity movement, Academia Christiana presents itself as a training institute “integral”at a time “spiritual, moral, intellectual and sporting”.
This organization is chaired by Victor Aubert, professor of French and philosophy at the Institut Croix des Vents in Sées (Orne), a private educational establishment outside of a contract run by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint-Pierre, a traditionalist institute recognized by Rome.
“By wanting to dissolve us, the government is once again attacking Catholics, whom it considers second-class citizens”reacted Academia Christiana on its internet, accusing the executive of seeking to “prohibit any thought or reflection outside of secularist and consumerist ideology”. “At a time when stabbings are flying morning, noon and evening, the priority of the Republic is to dissolve a training institute whose executives are all honest fathers and mothers”lamented the organization, which plans to “contest this absurd procedure” before the Council of State.
After the announcement of its upcoming dissolution, Academia Christiana received a lot of support for the far right on social networks, notably fromEric Zemmour.
