Right-wing extremism: UNI student union invited to the National Assembly for the start of the academic year

Last week, Yvenn Le Coz, national delegate for UNI (Union nationale inter-universitaire, a far-right trade union) spoke at a round-table discussion at the French National Assembly on the start of the new academic year.

Far removed from the difficult reality experienced by a large number of students, the UNI warned of the risks of “Islamism in universities”, referring to the “proliferation of the so-called classic veil” as well as the “full veil” on campus, and warning against the EMF (Etudiants musulmans de France) association, which is said to be the student branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

These accusations, made without any proof whatsoever, did not raise any eyebrows among the members of the Cultural Affairs Committee, who allowed this union to make Islamophobic remarks within republican institutions.
