 ENAR fait l’objet d’une surveillance rapprochée de l’extrême droite belge
ENAR fait l’objet d’une surveillance du ‘Vlaams Belang’, parti d’extrême droite belge, suite à notre
demande de désactiver leur site web anti-immigrés. Philip Claeys, Député européen membre du
Vlaams Belang, a récemment demandé à la Commission européenne si cet appel d’ENAR était
compatible avec la position de celle-ci contre la censure sur internet et si les initiatives qu’elle
finance devraient appeler à la censure sur internet dans l’Union européenne. ENAR avait en effet
condamné la mise en ligne de ce site en avril et nous réitérons notre appel au gouvernement belge
de l’interdire. Pour en savoir plus

Déclaration conjointe d’ONG sur l’accès aux soins de santé pour les migrants sans-papiers
en Espagne
ENAR signed a joint civil society statement urging Spanish MPs to uphold the basic right of all
human beings to healthcare. Indeed, on 20 April, the Spanish government issued a Royal DecreeAct which restricts the level of health care access for irregular migrants stipulated in the
Foreigners Act (Ley de Extranjería). The current Foreigners Act establishes that irregular migrants
registered at the municipality are entitled to access health care under the same conditions as
nationals of the country. The proposed new legislation would limit access to vital health care
services for irregular migrants in Spain to emergency care, maternity and child care only. Pour en

migrants and beneficiaries of international protection. It is in the interest of Member States to
harmonize practices and legislation in the field of family reunification. We also reminded that
Member States have the obligation to properly implement the EU Family Reunification Directive
and to remove the many legal and practical obstacles to family reunion that exist. Pour en savoir

Social and Educational Services for Muslims in Germany ''We Want Participation, Not
Integration''
While German politicians continue to argue whether Islam is part of Germany or not, German
Muslims have for quite some time been making a contribution in many social spheres. But many
institutions in Germany are still at the beginning of a process of intercultural opening. The political
debate in Germany has masked the fact that Muslims have long been participating in many social
spheres. They have been insisting on more participation in communities, schools, and social
welfare institutions. A new generation of young and well-educated Muslims is confidently raising
the issues that affect their community, just like their Christian and secular co-citizens. Read more
NOUVELLES D’EUROPE
 Pourquoi l’Europe ne peut se défaire de sa faiblesse pour le nazisme
Like vermin in a time of pestilence, neo-Nazi groups appear to be enjoying a resurgence in a
Europe plagued by increasing financial chaos and uncertainty. As Europe celebrated the 67th
anniversary of V.E. Day and the defeat of Hitler’s Nazis this week, it also reeled in disbelief as an
angry Greek electorate gave 7% of their votes to the neo-Nazi, anti-immigrant Golden Dawn party.

 Le kit pour aider les candidats immigrés à devenir de bons Flamands
Migrer vers la Flandre demande une grande adaptation. "Les autorités flamandes souhaitent vous
y aider" en mettant à votre disposition un "coffret d'introduction". C'est en quelques mots le
message affiché sur la brochure que la Flandre met à disposition des candidats à l'immigration.
Cette brochure d'une trentaine de pages est une initiative du ministre flamand des Affaires
intérieures, Geert Bourgeois (NV-A). Si quelques informations générales sur la Belgique, ou plutôt
la Flandre, y sont reprises, une bonne partie du contenu ne laisse pas indifférent. On y apprend
que les Flamands vivent sainement, qu'ils ne vivent pas dans la rue, qu'ils aiment le calme ("Après
10 heures du soir, on ne peut plus faire de bruit"), qu'ils ne rendent pas visite sans prévenir, qu'ils
sont attachés à leur intimité ou encore que leurs fils ou filles ne vivent pas chez leurs parents ou
beaux-parents mais qu'ils "essaient d’aller habiter seuls en tant que famille le plus vite possible".

 Peter Mangs plaide non-coupable pour les meurtres racistes à Malmo
A man has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder following a series of shootings in
southern Sweden. Peter Mangs, 40, entered the plea at the start of his trial in Malmo. He is

 L’Allemagne va garder les données sur les néonazis, y compris les tchèques
Deutsche Welle reports that the German government approved draft legislation which would
enable it to keep files on neo-Nazis. The database would include not just Germans, but also foreign
neo-Nazis, i.e., also Czech people who actively collaborate with their German "tribes-people". This
might first and foremost include several members of the Workers' Social Justice Party (Dělnická
strana sociální spravedlnosti - DSSS) who are in close contact with German neo-Nazis and have
violent tendencies. The bill will now be submitted to the lower chamber of the German
parliament, the Bundestag. Pour en savoir plus
 YLE expose les liens anti-islamiques du Parti des Vrais Finlandais
Anti-Islamic, far-right factions in Finland are well-connected, with influence reaching into the
chambers of Finnish parliament, finds Yle's Swedish-language investigative programme Spotlight.
The programme links several Finns Party members to the Finnish Defence League (FDL), a Finnish
chapter of a far-right street movement in the UK which claims to protest against "militant Islam."
Reporters found that several local Finns Party politicians have been active on the FDL’s website.
Spotlight’s investigative journalists discovered that the Finns Party has expelled one of its
members active in the FDL to prevent negative publicity. Pour en savoir plus

La question raciale ne peut être évitée dans le cas de prédation sexuelle à Rochdale au
Royaume-Uni
The racial ethnicity of the men involved in the sexual exploitation of children in Greater
Manchester cannot be ignored, the chair of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission has said.
Trevor Phillips said it was "fatuous" to deny racial and cultural factors. But the head of the CPS in
the North West, Nazir Afzal, said it was wrong to put race at the centre of the case. On 12 May,
police said nine men have been arrested in a second sexual grooming inquiry in Rochdale. It
follows the sentencing of eight men of Pakistani origin and one from Afghanistan for their part in
an unrelated grooming case in the town. Pour en savoir plus

 Un consortium financé par l’UE dévoile son robot de contrôle aux frontières
An EU-co-financed project is aiming to mass-produce autonomous land vehicles designed to stop
irregular migrants. Using a €13 million grant from the European Commission's research budget
and €7 million of private funding, a consortium of researchers and private firms has after four
years of work produced a functioning prototype of the "transportable autonomous patrol for land
border surveillance" or "Talos." The unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) was demonstrated in Poland
in mid-April at a military training ground in front of a hundred-or-so people, including officials
from Frontex, the EU's Warsaw-based border control agency, Polish ministers and border guards
from around Europe. Pour en savoir plus

 Bruxelles veut créer des cartes d’identités électroniques pour les citoyens de l’UE
The European Commission is set to launch a substantial review of rules governing personal
documents with the aim of making electronic identities take off across the EU. But the proposal
faces likely opposition from civil rights groups and member states where identity cards do not
exist. Brussels has long been trying to facilitate the emergence of a parallel system of electronic
identification, on top of the the real-world existing documents. This has mainly been linked to the
struggle for establishing a truly functioning single market, rather than on security grounds. Pour en

Un niveau de qualification élevé offre de meilleurs possibilités d'emploi, tandis que la
demande générale de travail recule
D'après le dernier Observatoire européen des postes vacants, un niveau de qualification élevé
reste un atout pour accroître les possibilités d'emploi. Le nombre de personnes ayant trouvé un
emploi chez les «professionnels» a poursuivi sa croissance pour atteindre un pic au cours du
troisième trimestre 2011 par rapport à la même période en 2010 (+16%), tandis que le nombre de
demandeurs d’emploi ayant trouvé un poste de législateur, de haut fonctionnaire et de dirigeant a
augmenté de 13%. D’autres signes témoignent du déclin de la demande de travail depuis le
deuxième trimestre 2011. D’après des données Eurostat, de plus en plus de pays connaissent une

Intégration citoyenne et migration en Europe: les musulmans ont-il un parcours
différent?
Of the various immigrant and minority groups in Western Europe, Muslims are frequently singled
out for their alleged cultural distance and lack of interest to participate in social and political life.
Mutual distrust between Islamic organizations and political actors seems to be rising. This paper is
interested in patterns of discursive interaction between Muslim groups on the one hand, and
other political actors on the other hand. It examines seven European societies with varying
proportions of Muslims among the population, distinct traditions of citizenship policies, and
different levels of electoral success of parties voicing anti-Islam positions. Using a political claims
analysis covering 1995 to 2009, they show that there are substantial differences between
countries in the use of migrant-group categories. Pour en savoir plus
