The report into the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood was expected to be published on Wednesday, but its release was delayed by Macron’s office after the document was leaked to conservative media. An early version of the report seen by POLITICO said that the Muslim Brotherhood had gone to great lengths to push its fundamentalist agenda across France and Europe.
Many in the French government have attributed the leak to Retailleau, a hard-line conservative whose popularity has skyrocketed since joining Macron’s minority government in September.
Is the Muslim risk significant? Or is this just jockeying for position for the future presidential election as Macron must leave power due to term limitation.
