Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, launched the second session of the Forum's work for Islam in France (Forif) “There will now be a status of imam in France,” he said during a press conference, asking Forif to “work within six months to create” such a status. “It is not up to the State to preside over this structuring,’ he added.
Forif should turn the page on the CFCM (French Council of Worship), which is losing its representiveness.
