" The French Interior Ministry said it is planning to outlaw Unité Radicale, a far-right group. A spokesperson said the government would invoke a 1936 law that allows the president of the republic to dissolve private militias and "combat groups" by decree. Unité Radicale, formed in 1998 to federate France’s extreme-right factions, denies it is a paramilitary organisation. The shadowy group has refused to distance itself from Maxime Brunerie (25), who pulled out a .22 rifle during the Bastille Day parade and fired a shot at President Jacques Chirac before being wrestled to the ground by bystanders and police.
