EU Parliament centre-right pushes vague Muslim Brotherhood probe, risks chilling activism

Centre-right MEPs are advancing a broad inquiry into alleged 'Muslim Brotherhood networks' in the EU Parliament, using vague criteria that critics warn could criminalize routine activism by Muslim and other minority groups. The initiative marks a shift from targeted counter-terrorism to expansive political surveillance, raising civil-liberties concerns. Its trajectory and legal grounding remain uncertain, but adoption could set a precedent for targeting other vocal minorities across Europe.
