Rule 144

In statements of 19 March 2019 and 26 April 2023, the Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organisations (FEMYSO) formally denied all links to the Muslim Brotherhood and announced its intention to ‘take legal action against organisations and individuals’ making these accusations. However, a report published by the French Ministry for Internal Affairs in May 2025, entitled ‘The Muslim Brotherhood and Political Islamism in France’, names FEMYSO as a major player in the Muslim Brotherhood network. Based on the above, as well as the threat that political Islamism poses to the future of the EU and the recent meeting between the Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport and FEMYSO representatives on 13 June 2025, we ask:
- 1.Is the Commission privy to new information disproving the serious accusations levelled against FEMYSO in the aforementioned report?
- 2.If not, will the Commission stop all collaboration with FEMYSO in order to curb the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation which appears on an EU Member State’s blacklist of organisations linked to ‘religiously motivated crime’?
