Georges Fenech is the president of an interministerial mission established on behalf of the Prime Minister: Miviludes, or Interministerial Mission for Monitoring and Combatting Cultic Deviances. Appointed to this position in 2008 by François Fillon, his position was renewed in 2011.
A former MP, Fenech is currently running as an UMP candidate for the legislative election in the Rhone department, against the incumbent MP, Raymond Durand, from the Nouveau Centre (New Center party).
The president of Miviludes was condemned for public defamation by the Paris Criminal Court on June the 1st, 2012.
Defamatory statements against an association of lay Catholics – la Societé Française de défense de la Tradition, Famille et Propriété (the French Society for the Defence of Tradition, Family and Property) – were published in the 2009 annual report of Miviludes.
The appeal period has not expired.
The 17th Chamber of the Paris Criminal Court, which specializes in press cases, has retained the defamatory character of the alleged libel contained in the report submitted to the Prime Minister. The Chamber has underlined the lack of rigor in the report’s verifications and the lack of caution on the part of a state organization which normally shouldn’t indulge in guesswork.
Suffice to say that the credibility of Miviludes and of Georges Fenech is now challenged and undermined.
