A leading left-wing political party in France’s parliament is taking legal action to hinder the release of an explosive book which uncovers the party’s collaboration with radical Islamists and its initiatives to introduce social regulations aligned with Sharia law.
La France Insoumise (Indomitable France), which has the largest number of legislators in the leftist bloc of the National Assembly, has issued a formal notice to Plon publishing house ordering it to provide it with a copy of the book Les Complices du mal(The Accomplices of Evil).
On September 8, LFI’s lawyer Mathieu Davy asked Plon to comply with its demand “within 24 hours.” It threatened to sue the publisher for “unfounded remarks that undermine the honor and reputation” of LFI in the book, according to the French political weekly Le Point.
French daily Le Figaroreported that they had corroborated LFI’s legal action against Plon.
Davy, however, told the newspaper that LFI had served notice on Plon because “we have no knowledge of this book and would like to know exactly what it contains, given its rather accusatory presentation.”
