Macron’s French Govt Proposes ‘Republican Principles’ Bill To Tackle ‘Islamist Radicalism’
Almost two months after the horrific attacks in France and debate over extremism, the French government unveiled a draft law on Wednesday aimed at tackling “Islamist radicalism”. President Emmanuel Macron says that the bill is a way to root out “separatists” undermining the nation. The proposed law is titled “Supporting Republican Principles,” will affect home schools, mosques, the 1905 law separating church and state, forced marriages. This move by Macron comes ahead of the 2022 presidential polls, as he eyes re-election even as his tenure faced massive ‘Yellow vest’ movement and was marred with violence.
One of the Articles in the bill makes school obligatory from age 3, allowing the option of homeschooling in special cases only. The measure is aimed at ending so-called clandestine schools run by fundamentalists with their “own agenda.” French Prime Minister Jean Castex stressed that it “is not a text against religions or against the Muslim religion in particular.” He explained, “a bill of freedom, a bill of protection, a bill of emancipation from Islamist fundamentalism or other ideologies pursuing the same goals.”
Another Article in the bill encourages mosques to register as places of worship, so as to better identify them. Many of the nation’s more than 2,600 mosques, which often have Quranic schools attached, currently operate under rules for associations. While it doesn’t forbid foreign funding for mosques, it stated that funding source and other details would have to be declared if amount exceeds 10,000 euros ($12,000). In addition, a judge can forbid anyone convicted of provoking terrorism, discrimination, hate or violence from frequenting mosques.

Brexit Trade Talks Paused Due To Significant Divergences Johnson & EU Chief To Hold Call
After one week of intense trade negotiations in London, the chief intermediaries from Britain and the European Union (EU) agreed on Friday to put the talks on hold due to “significant divergences.”
Releasing identical statements on Twitter, UK’s chief Brexit negotiator David Frost and his EU counterpart Michel Barnier said “the conditions for an agreement are not met due to significant divergences on the level playing field, governance and fisheries. The two sides have agreed to pause the talks in order to brief their Principals on the situation of the negotiations”.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will now take the discussions forward on Saturday afternoon, it said. The leaders will hold a telephone call, as their envoys – Michel Barnier and David Frost – broke up after an arduous week of meetings without a breakthrough. Britain and the EU had resumed face-to-face talks in London last week after an EU negotiator tested positive for coronavirus earlier in November.
The talks that have dragged for eight months are at a crucial stage as time is running out for both sides to secure a deal before the Brexit transition period expires on December 31. Britain is set to leave the EU single market at the end of the year with or without a trade agreement. Failure to reach a free trade agreement with the EU means bilateral trade will depend on World Trade Organization (WTO) rules in 2021.
