A publication of the French newspaper Le Figaro speaks of a “resurgence of the activity of the Gray Wolves in France”, which states that while after their ban by the French authorities in 2020 they were “relatively discreet”, in recent months they seem to be reactivating by threatening a French woman member of parliament, but also the Armenian, Greek and Kurdish communities.
As for French MP Isabelle Surpli, she has been targeted because, according to the report, she called for the closure of a mosque in the Saint-Etienne area, which was a member of the Islamic-conservative network of the Islamic Confederation. Millî Görüs, close to Erdogan’s party.
It is also reported that the Saint-Etienne region is one of the strongholds of the Gray Wolves in France and that French authorities have recently arrested their members for supporting terrorism on the Internet against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The publication also states that the Gray Wolves are “ultra-nationalist, vicious and Islamist” and that under the auspices of Ankara they cultivate “the explosive character of an ideology, which mixes various hatreds, an ultra-nationalism and an unbridled Islamism”.
