Highlights: State funding will be conditional on respect for republican principles, says Gabriel Attal. The Prime Minister announced the appointment of a new head of the Institute of Political Studies of Paris. The move follows the resignation of Mathias Vicherat, who was accused of abusing his position as director of the institute. The resignation was linked to the blocking of access to the Emile Boutmy amphitheater by a group of students from the Union of Jewish Students of France (UEJF) The decision to block the access was taken after a petition by the students calling for a return to the venue was sent to the government.


State funding granted to the Institute of Political Studies will be conditional on respect for republican principles, the Prime Minister announced this Thursday.


Gabriel Attal no longer wants the

“culture of non-wave”

which has prevailed until now at Sciences Po, according to the Prime Minister, who reacted to the blocking, on Tuesday, of access to the Emile Boutmy amphitheater at a student from the Union of Jewish Students of France (UEJF) during an event in support of Palestine.

“We will appoint a provisional administrator who will have a road map to reverse this slope and this drift and guarantee that the principles of the Republic are respected

,” announced this Thursday Gabriel Attal, himself a former student of rue Saint-Guillaume , one day after the resignation of the school director, Mathias Vicherat, implicated in a case of

“domestic violence”

.

“Slow drift”

“The contract of objectives and means”

between the State and the Institute of Political Studies of Paris, which represents part of the financing of Sciences Po,

“will be linked specifically to this question”

of respect for republican principles, a added Gabriel Attal, who discussed these different requirements during the establishment's board of directors on Wednesday.

Although he recalled that an investigation was opened to

“establish the unfolding of the facts”

, the Prime Minister did not himself qualify the abuses he denounces, only evoking

“a form of slow drift linked to a minority active which wants to impose a dominant form of thinking within this institution which is part of the schools which form part of the leading executives of the State and the public service

.
