The influence of Anglo-Saxon liberal models disseminated by Brussels on Research

Islamism, school bullying, eco-sexuality: a generalized bug?

The Senate hearings on the "Marianne fund" affair are underway, and all the light has yet to be shed, but one point already invites us to ask ourselves: how could the government have thought, after the assassination of Samuel Paty, that the fight against Islamist radicalization could be limited to distributing a few million euros to associations, a fortiori without monitoring their use?
