The USEPPM and Reconstruire le commun, beneficiaries of public subsidies from the Marianne fund, defended their results on Wednesday before a conference. "Many untruths have been told in the press," said Cyril Karunagaran, president of USEP PM.

The National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF) has opened a judicial investigation into the use of the fund. The Marianne Fund was created on April 20, 2021 by Marlène Schiappa, then Minister Delegate for Citizenship.
