Associative freedom in danger. The State Council suspends the dissolution of GALE

On Monday 16 May, the Council of State suspended the dissolution of the Antifascist Group of Lyon and Surroundings (GALE) following a summary hearing during which the association’s lawyers challenged the dissolution. The government accuses the association of inciting violence. This dissolution by government decision was made possible by one of the articles of the law of separatism. It is the first extreme left-wing association to fall under the scope of this law on the grounds that it is a group « that provokes violent acts against people or property ».
