Construction of a new mosque in Strasbourg: Darmanin opposes a grant from the

Gérald Darmanin accused the town hall EELV of Strasbourg to finance a mosque supported by a federation that defends political Islam the day after a vote approving the principle of a subsidy of more than 2.5 million euros, and requested the referral to justice.

The green city hall of Strasbourg finances a mosque supported by a federation which refused to sign the charter of principles of Islam in France and which defends a political Islam, reacted Mr. Darmanin in a tweet published on the night of Monday 22 to Tuesday 23 March.

“The seriousness of the decisions taken by the municipality”

Strongly that everyone open their eyes and that the separatism law will soon be voted and promulgated, he added.

At the end of the morning, the minister raised the tone by announcing, still on Twitter, to have asked the prefect of the Grand Est and Bas-Rhin region to refer this deliberation of the Strasbourg city council to administrative justice.

Even if the separatism law has not yet been adopted, given the seriousness of the decisions taken by the green municipality of Strasbourg, I asked to the prefect to refer the grant award decision to the administrative judge, wrote M. Darmanin.

This grant represents “10% of the amount of the work”

Strasbourg City Council adopted on Monday evening the principle of a subsidy more than 2.5 million euros for the construction of a mosque in Millî Görüs (CIMG), a reputed association close to Turkey.

This grant represents 10% of the cost of the work, noted during the vote the mayor EELV of Strasbourg, Jeanne Barseghian, whose majority affirmed that it was a usual percentage for the subsidization of places of worship in the Alsatian capital.

The actual payment of the subsidy, criticized by the municipal opposition, must be subject to a new vote.

The elected ecologist proposed Monday evening to integrate into the text several conditions, such as the prior signing of the Charter of Principles for Islam in France or guarantees on the transparency of funds intended to finance the site.

However, in January, the Millî Görüs association refused to sign this charter.
