After several hours of deliberation, the Paris administrative court overturned the ban on demonstrations pronounced Friday by the police headquarters against the French Action, an organization classified on the extreme right. The association had seized the court by a summary freedom order to “to suspend the decree of the prefect of police of May 12, 2023 prohibiting the holding of the conference ‘La France en danger’ organized on May 13, 2023 by Action Française”. This Saturday, the administrative court therefore granted his request, learned Le Figaro with the authority. He also ordered the payment by the State of 1500 euros to the movement of ultradoite, which claimed for its part 4000 euros, according to the order that we were able to consult.
“First victory for this great weekend, the administrative court has just broken the ban on our colloquium taken by the prefect of police! We are waiting for you at Espace Charenton from 2:30 p.m.! The Action Française movement immediately reacted on Twitter.

The prefect of police, Laurent Nunez, argued the risk of disturbances to public order as several of these demonstrations sparked calls for counter-rallys by organizations “close to the radical left” and that a mobilization of the “anti-fascist movement” could “attempting to physically attack” ultra-right activists. This measure is also the translation of the instruction given to the prefects by the Minister of the Interior to prohibit any demonstration “of the ultra-right or the extreme right”, after the controversy last Saturday linked to the demonstration of the May 9 Committee to commemorate the 29th anniversary of the death of far-right activist Sébastien Deyzieu.
