Asked about the association contract between the Muslim Lycée Averroès in Lille and the State, Xavier Bertrand; President of the Hauts-de-France region, said “I never ceased to consider myself a whistleblower”.
During his hearing at the commission of inquiry on the terms of state control and the prevention of violence in educational establishments, Bertrand said “I especially asked for the State since November 2017 to know whether or not the conditions were met for an association contract between the State and this high school to be always granted”.
“When we go to this specific point, especially on the Regional Chamber of Accounts on May 22, 2003 there is very clearly the proximity of the Averroès association with Muslims of France via the Islamic League of the North Emanation of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement,” he said.
He also pointed out the content of the courses provided by the Muslim high school and which, according to him, would be in contradiction with the values of the Republic.
Regarding the financing of the association, “the report establishes that the association benefited from 1.9 million euros from abroad following various collections with mosques in Germany and the Netherlands. It is still solid it, it should not be forgotten that the Regional Chamber of Accounts are magistrates. And what has been established by the Regional Chamber of Accounts is not nothing”, he said.
On April 23, the Lille administrative court decided to restore the Association of the Averroès Lycée with the State.
The termination acted unilaterally by the Northern Prefect was in fact canceled and the decision took effect immediately, allowing the establishment to be able to recover the funds due to the current school year.
After months of a merciless legal battle, the Averroes high school could finally consider its future in a very serene way, welcoming a “Claire court decision, based on facts and law”.
But the respite will have been short -lived. The Minister of National Education, Elisabeth Borne announced on Tuesday at the antenna of TF1, that she called on the judgment rendered by the Lille administrative court.
