A physique which has held solely three interministerial committees in 5 years, whose scientific committee is ghostly and which has failed to tell Parliament of its motion since 2015: such is the presentation made, Monday March 4, by Pierre Moscovici, first president of the Court of Auditors, of the interministerial committee for the prevention of delinquency and radicalization (CIPDR), presupposed to play a significant function within the struggle in opposition to Islamist radicalization, separatism and group withdrawal.

This extreme audit was launched after the Marianne fund scandal, which broke out within the spring of 2023.

The doubtful allocation of funds allotted by Miviludes and the Marianne fund illustrates these abuses: “These deficiencies appeared even more clearly during the national calls for projects launched in 2021, the first intended for the “fight against sectarian aberrations”, the second, the “Marianne fund”, whose launch and The arbitration was poorly ready and carried out in situations that didn’t enable a passable investigation. » More typically, “the control highlighted an overall lack of rigor in the management of subsidy operations (…). It is essential that the Ministry of the Interior carries out a restoration of order”concludes the report.
