An early version of the report seen by POLITICO said that the Muslim Brotherhood had gone to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/muslim-brotherhood-eu-report-freedom-relgion-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">great lengths to push its fundamentalist agenda<\/a> across France and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Many in the French government have attributed the leak to Retailleau, a hard-line conservative whose popularity has skyrocketed since joining Macron\u2019s minority government in September. Retailleau on Sunday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/bruno-retailleau-french-interior-minister-wins-leadership-of-top-conservative-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scored a landslide win<\/a> to become the next leader of the Les R\u00e9publicains, the historically dominant French center-right party relegated to political purgatory after Macron\u2019s 2017 election upended French politics. Early polling indicates he could be a serious contender in the 2027 presidential election were he to run.<\/p>\n<p>Retailleau had in recent days discussed the report in multiple interviews with French media, accusing the Muslim Brotherhood of \u201ctrying to tip French society into Sharia law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One presidential aide sought to downplay the interior ministry\u2019s role on this issue on Tuesday, insisting that all official decisions would be made at a defense cabinet meetings presided over by Macron.<\/p>\n<p>The government official who recounted the scene to POLITICO said Macron appeared to have a \u201cmood swing\u201d at that meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure that he has understood \u2026 that it\u2019s the government that governs\u201d rather than the president, said the official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The report into the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood was expected to be published on Wednesday, but its&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5309],"tags":[2001,473,33,34,2000,299,36,37,42,43,44,7965,45,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-124040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france","8":"tag-communications","9":"tag-defense","10":"tag-elections","11":"tag-emmanuel-macron","12":"tag-eu","13":"tag-europe","14":"tag-france","15":"tag-francois-bayrou","16":"tag-jordan-bardella","17":"tag-macron","18":"tag-marine-le-pen","19":"tag-platforms","20":"tag-playbook","21":"tag-rights"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114554666217630320","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
