Issue Date: August 23, 1985 Other International News: 2 Charged in Greenpeace Ship Sinking New Zealand arrested a man and a woman July 23 in connection with the explosion that sank the Greenpeace protest vessel Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbor two weeks earlier. The two appeared in court July 24 and were charged with arson, conspiracy to commit arson and the murder of a Greenpeace photographer who died in the bombing. [See 1985 Other International News: Greenpeace Ship Sunk by Bomb] The man and woman carried Swiss passports identifying them as Sophie Frederique Claire Turenge and Jacques Turenge. However, the French magazine L'Express Aug. 14 said the woman had been recognized from photographs as Dominique Prieur, an army captain and full-time agent for the French secret service, Direction Generale de Securite Exterieure (DGSE). New Zealand police who traveled to Paris to investigate confirmed that identification, but declined to disclose the identity of the man being held with Capt. Prieur. Some reports said that the man was a major at a French secret service sabotage training center in Corsica. Police in New Zealand July 26 had issued warrants for the arrest of three crew members of a French-registered yacht that left Auckland the day before the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior. The three were being charged with arson with the use of explosives, conspiracy to commit arson, and murder. The French government Aug. 8 launched an official inquiry at the direction of President Francois Mitterrand into the ship's sinking. Premier Laurent Fabius named Bernard Tricot, a highly respected civil servant who was a chief of staff under the late president Charles de Gaulle, to head the inquiry. Two top government ministers, Defense Minister Charles Hernu and Interior Minister Pierre Joxe, reportedly were being questioned in the investigation. Hernu asserted that his conscience was clear in the matter and said he "never dreamt of resigning," despite speculation that he might be forced to do so. Opposition politicians in France and the right-wing press accused Mitterrand's Socialist government of involvement in the sinking. The right-wing magazine Minute charged that Jean-Louis Bianco, Mitterrand's chief of staff, had played a role in the affair. The government Aug. 14 denied the charges and said it would sue Minute over the allegations. As controversy mounted, Jean Lecanuet, head of the centrist Union pour la Democratie Francaise (UDF) and president of the Senate's foreign affairs and defense commission, Aug. 19 said that the secret service had sunk the vessel and implied that senior government officials were responsible for the operation. .

Mobilizing in Different Political Opportunity Structures: the Cases of French and British Muslims
ASPJ Africa & Francophonie - 1st Quarter 2012 Mobilizing in Different Political Opportunity Structures The Cases of French and British Muslims IMÈNE AJALA, PHD* ssues related to Islam in the European sphere have increasingly been at the forefront of public spaces and part of decision makers’ agendas. According to the European Union (EU) Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, the EU includes at least 13 million Muslims, repre- senting 5 percent of Europeans.1 For Jocelyne Césari, “Muslim immigra- tionI to Europe and North America can be seen as the foundational moment for a new transcultural space—a space where individuals live and experience different cultural references and values that are now disconnected from national contexts and boundaries.”2 Such a transcultural space is characterized by the forceful emergence of a transnational religion (Islam) in a secularized public space (Europe).3 This situation necessarily leads to tensions; that is, Eu- ropean Muslims experience difficult relations with their respective govern- ments.4 The context of the “war on terror” since the attacks of 11 Sep- tember 2001 (9/11) and the security implied have drawn additional attention to Muslims and their claims-making in terms of economic, political, and religious rights in European countries. Muslims’ integration is considered a challenge constructed as a confrontation between religious discourses and secular spaces. Of course, national differences have different effects in terms of the conceptualization of multiculturalism, and one can distinguish among them by different “philosophies of integration.”5 * The author holds a BA in political science from the Grenoble Institute of Political Studies, Grenoble, France, as well as an MA and a PhD in international relations from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland.

Guy Carcassonne Et Le Parlement
Guy Carcassonne et le Parlement Colloque « Hommage à Guy Carcassonne » au Conseil constitutionnel, 10 avril 2014 Yves COLMOU, Conseiller auprès du Premier ministre Monsieur le Président du Conseil constitutionnel, Messieurs les Premiers ministres, Mesdames, Messieurs, Après les interventions très structurées de Julie Benetti et de Jean-Marie Denquin, j'espère que vous voudrez bien excuser le caractère un peu décousu de mon propos mais il s'est produit récemment quelques petits événements dans la vie politique française qui ont comme conséquence très indirecte que j'ai le bonheur et l'honneur d'occuper depuis quelques jours, à l'Hôtel de Matignon, le bureau qui fut celui de Guy Carcassonne pendant trois ans. Je vais vous parler d'un autre Guy Carcassonne que celui qui vient d'être évoqué et pourtant c'est le même. Je ne prétendrai pas tenter d'exposer ce qu'est la pensée de Guy Carcassonne sur le Parlement. J'essayerais de dire l'action de Guy Carcassonne au Parlement et avec le Parlement. Il fut en eﬀet un acteur de la vie parlementaire, dans des rôles diﬀérents, à l'Assemblée Nationale, d'abord dans l'opposition puis auprès du groupe majoritaire, au gouvernement ensuite auprès de Michel Rocard, d'abord au ministère de l'Agriculture puis surtout à Matignon pendant trois ans en charge des relations avec le Parlement. Tout commence en décembre 1978, Guy Carcassonne arrive à l'Assemblée nationale, à mi-temps, comme conseiller juridique du groupe socialiste. C'est Alain Richard, député du Val d'Oise, qui a proposé son recrutement. Quel était son travail ? D'une part préparer, avec Michel Charasse, le secrétaire général adjoint du groupe, les saisines du Conseil constitutionnel, et d'autre part, Guy assistait le petit groupe de députés juristes dénommé « les secrétaires législatifs du groupe » c'est-à-dire Alain Richard, Raymond Forni, Philippe Marchand, François Massot et quelques autres qui devaient veiller à la solidité juridique des amendements et des propositions de loi du groupe socialiste.
