Guest of “Great meeting”French media broadcast Europe 1, CNews and Les Echos, Laurent Nuñez, national intelligence coordinator indicated that two “Sunni Islamist terrorist attacks” were foiled in France “In 2020 and 33 since 2017”.
He pointed out that the “Sunni Islamist terrorism” was “A priority threat”. She is “Endogenous” and “More and more difficult to detect”, he estimated. “The passage to the act is done extremely quickly” he continued, citing the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty in October.
Laurent Nunez underlined a
” common point “
between the last three attacks attributed to this movement, the one in front of the former Charlie Hebdo premises, the one against Samuel Paty and the one in a basilica in Nice: “Blasphemy, the will to avenge the prophet”.
For him, the exogenous threat (from abroad) is “Less likely”, even if the French services “Remain extremely vigilant” on this subject.
60 to 70 people convicted of terrorism should be released in 2021
Nuñez also explained during this interview that those convicted of terrorism who should be released from prison in 2021 will be subject to “Administrative obligations” (regular check-in, ban on appearing in such and such a place…). He felt that they would be “60 to 70” in this situation in 2021 when, according to him, “500 convicted of acts of terrorism” and “900 common law detainees who became radicalized” are currently in prison.
“5 attacks” of the ultra-right foiled since 2017
He also mentioned “5 attacks” of the ultra-right foiled since 2017. Laurent Nuñez worried about “Rise of supremacists and survivalism”. It is estimated that the ultra right represents 1,000 to 1,500 people, which Mr. Nuñez did not deny. Regarding the ultra-left, which represents 2 to 3,000 people, the national intelligence coordinator assessed between “150 to 200” the number of degradations (burnt pylons, etc.) that can be attributed to it in 2020.
