"European institutions demonstrate a continued record of engagement with and support for Muslim Brotherhood-related organisations. The most visible examples occur in the form of direct funding." — Paul Stott and Tommaso Virgili, in the report "The Muslim Brotherhood in Europe," October 2021.
According to a report published by the ECR Group in December 2025, "Unmasking the Muslim Brotherhood. Brotherism, Islamophobia and the EU," written by Tommaso Virgili and Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, the European Commission is still funding Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations that "exploit EU funding and institutions to advance their agenda."
A bit hard for the EU, therefore, to feign ignorance.
"They [these Muslim Brotherhood organizations] get funding and legitimacy that other totalitarian groups would never dream of getting.... these organizations play a clever game of dominoes, leveraging legitimacy in one member state to gain credibility in another or at the European level, then using that to charm more grant-making bodies. This creates a vicious cycle of ever-growing legitimacy and funding from multiple sources..." — Charlie Wiemers, Swedish Member of European Parliament, in "Unmasking the Muslim Brotherhood."
"If an organization claims to uphold European values, authorities take it at face value. Denying funding for failing to align with those values requires ironclad evidence, but monitoring isn't built to scrutinize content. A few missteps are brushed off as one-offs, and any official who dares push back risks accusations of racism or 'Islamophobia'—a chilling effect that will prevent most officials from acting unless they are extraordinarily principled and courageous." — Charlie Wiemers, in "Unmasking the Muslim Brotherhood."
