Since 2023, Thierry Clerc and Vladimir Martus have launched, against, Bernard Grua, the spokesperson of the collective No Shtandart in Europe, a series of legal measures: formal notices, police report, criminal complaint, interventions with French authorities, and public communication campaigns. All these initiatives, none of which succeeded in court, fit into a pattern that the European Union recognizes as SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation): actions intended to intimidate and deter critical expression, without any real prospect of success in the courts.
