Two Lyon lawyers decided to seize the Council of State, Tuesday, April 5, to challenge the dissolution of the AntiFascist group Lyon and surroundings (scabies), pronounced by decree of the Minister of the Interior, Wednesday, March 30th. Agnès Bouquin and Olivier FORRAY chose the procedure of the referral freedom, persuaded that this dissolution raises “a major issue of public freedom”. The supreme administrative jurisdiction has forty-eight hours to respond to the procedure.
“Something very serious, disturbing for the future. The object of scabies is the denunciation of the speeches and the violence of the extreme right that gang in our country, and it is reduced to silence. The group has Statement of critics, certainly strong and marked, especially against the use of the public force. The government wants to prevent it from expressing themselves, “said Agnès Bouquin.
For Olivier Forsray, “This dissolution announced by the government spokesman, a few weeks of the first round of the presidential election, it is a political act on the calculated timetable. We are witnessing the total turnaround of the law of 1936 who struggled against the fascist leagues. The Standardism Act modified the criteria of the anti-league law, and the Minister of the Interior has chosen to apply them against an association that specifically denounces the dangers of the extreme right ” .
The anti-league law of 1936 provided for the dissolution of groups “which provoke to armed events in the street”. The Committee on Separatism, voted in August 2021, adds the notion of “acts against people and goods”. For the two Lyon lawyers, the dissolution of scabies would be “the troubling illustration” of the extension of the field of repression.
A dozen offenses listed

The Decree of Dissolution lists a dozen aggregate offenses, the first of which dates back to December 2014, during a manifestation in response to the death of the Ecologist Militant Rémi Fraisse. The unauthorized manifestation had resulted in jets of projectiles against the police, and several urban furniture degradations.
“The scabies inscribes its strategy in the recurrence of violent actions, legitimized by an ideological discourse against violence and state racism,” says the Ministry of the Interior to justify the dissolution of the group. Other grievance: “His invectives and appeals to the hatred against the police as well as the abuses and violence committed against them.” The decree points slogans, messages, or images against the police, relayed by the group on the networks social social.
