The Anticor association, which fights against corruption, has lost its approval. What will then become of the ongoing legal proceedings, some of which are sensitive? Anticor will appeal the decision.
It is an association known to fight against corruption for more than 20 years. Anticor is involved in 159 proceedings, often political and financial cases. For example, she filed a complaint against the Keeper of the Seals, Éric Dupond-Moretti, or against the secretary general of the Élysée. On June 23, the association lost the approval that allows it to file a complaint and bring a civil action before the courts. An unjust and violent decision for the president.
An irregular renewal procedure
“The action of the associations disturbs the power without any doubt. This cancellation constitutes a serious attack on democracy as well as freedom of association in France.“, denounces Élise Van Beneden, president of the Anticor association.
The approval had been renewed by Jean Castex in 2021, but in the process, two former members of the association had taken legal action. For them, the renewal procedure is irregular, and Anticor would not respect the independence inherent in its activity.
