The French National Assembly has approved the creation of a commission of inquiry into alleged links between the left-wing party La France Insoumise (LFI) and Islamist networks. The proposal was initiated by Laurent Wauquiez, leader of the Droite Républicaine (DR) group. The commission's mandate focuses on investigating connections between political representatives and organizations propagating Islamist ideology, though explicit references to LFI were removed from the final text. Vincent Jeanbrun is considered a potential rapporteur for the commission. Sophie Pantel, initially elected as president of the commission, resigned shortly after, and the appointment of Aymeric Caron as president has been postponed by LR to avoid his nomination. Meanwhile, the issue of "islamo-gauchisme"—a term referring to alleged left-wing Islamist sympathies—has sparked debate in France. Philippe Baptiste, Minister of Higher Education and Research, publicly denied the existence of islamo-gauchisme within universities, describing it as a non-academic term. His statements have generated controversy and divided opinion within the government and academic circles. Critics argue that islamo-gauchisme manifests as an ideological influence in universities and society, while supporters of the minister's view consider it a myth or a politicized concept. The debate continues with various public figures and intellectuals weighing in on the presence and impact of islamo-gauchisme in French institutions.
