FEMYSO expresses its firm solidarity with students in France and Belgium who are taking to the streets to demand better educational conditions, adequate funding, and an education system that upholds their fundamental rights.
Today, the European Parliament adopted a resolution targeting so-called “Islamist entryism”, including calls to restrict, discredit and defund civil society organisations. We, European civil societies, strongly condemn this attack on Muslim and anti-racist civil society.

We remain committed to dialogue and constructive engagement with European institutions, while continuing to defend equality, fundamental rights and the meaningful participation of Muslim communities in European democratic life. #Islamophobia #CivicSpace #AntiRacism #EP
Targeting organisations such as FEMYSO, ENAR and CCIE based on unsubstantiated allegations is a dangerous step for civic space and a stain on European institutions and the values they are meant to uphold.
Very disappointing. ECR is once again recalling false ban claims. FEMYSO is a youth-led, independent, non-partisan organisation. Stop demonising the youth in a poor attempt to harvest votes.
40 MEPs of the left-wing stood up in support of Islamists!
🇫🇷 @MarionMarechal proposed an oral amendment to block funding of FEMYSO, an organisation linked to and promoting the ideas of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The "Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations" was already banned from organizing events in the European Parliament.
Yet, some of their events are still funded by the EU, while they are also funded by Qatar and Turkey, both of which have heavy ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Should the EU fund these organisations?
A reminder: after we faced harassment at EYE2021, many MEPs from your political group publicly supported FEMYSO and signed a letter defending our participation at EYE. We have engaged with your MEPs before, and they stood up for our right to participate.
Avec @Sophie_Wilmes, @NathalieLoiseau et plusieurs collègues nous sommes mobilisées pour en finir avec l’entrisme pratiqué par le FEMYSO.
Après la décision ferme du Parlement européen en juillet dernier, la Commission européenne doit elle aussi faire la lumière sur les financements qui seraient accordés à cette organisation proche des frères musulmans, qui se fait l’écho d’un islamisme politique contraire aux valeurs de l’Union européenne.

It is deeply concerning to now see a member of the same political group calling for our expulsion while promoting a claim that has already been refuted by an official European Parliament response. This contradicts your group’s own values: fighting intolerance and promoting equality and non-discrimination on all grounds.
