The CCAF calls on French citizens and the Ministry of the Interior to be extremely vigilant with regard to the attempts of the Turkish state to invest the French political field, as President Erdogan had advocated in a meeting in Strasbourg On 4 October 2015. Some 60 candidates from the Equal Justice Party (EYP), an organization directly inspired by the AKP, like its counterpart Denk in the Netherlands, present themselves to the deputies during the elections of 11 and 18th of June.

In the charter of their party, the leaders of the EYP declare among other things wanting “a moratorium on the law on secularism”, “fight against the libertine positioning of the present society” or promote the entry of Turkey into Europe .

Moreover, in a video interview broadcast on social networks its president Sakin Colak engages in negationist comments, taking up the rhetoric of Ankara on an “alleged Armenian genocide”.

The undisguised objective of the EYP is to become a real political force in the country. In this perspective, it hopes to obtain more than 1% of the votes during these legislative elections on at least fifty constituencies in order to collect for about 5 years about 160.000 € of public subsidies within the framework of the law on the financing of the political parties, that is 800.000 €.

The CCAF denounces this attempted entrenchment of the AKP ideology, which carries a political Islamism contrary to secularism and a negationism that is in contradiction with the values ​​of the Republic, Recalled several times the Parliament and the last three French presidents. It calls for the banning of this party whose speech and ideology represent a threat to the Republic and public order.
