France considers dissolving Alain Soral’s far-right association
France’s Interior Ministry is considering dissolving Equality and Reconciliation, a far-right association founded by essayist Alain Soral.
The ministry says a formal exchange is under way before it makes a decision.
Soral says the association has 10 days to submit its observations.
He has been convicted more than 20 times, including for inciting hatred and denying crimes against humanity.
Soral has condemned the move and called it an attempt to destroy the association.
The case matters because the government could shut down an organization linked to a figure with a long record of convictions.
The ministry has not yet announced a final decision.
