Following the 4 November 2020 ban of the Grey Wolves in France for hate speech and violence, and the calls for similar actions to be taken in Netherland and Germany, the European Parliament urged, on 20 May 2021, the 27 member states of the European Union to designate the Grey Wolves as a terrorist group, and thus, marking the first time that an EU institution has linked the Grey Wolves to terrorism. The Turkish Government reacted to the EP's report, calling it "biased" and "unacceptable", because, according to the Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tanju Bilgic, the Grey Wolves are "a legal movement, which is associated with a long-established political party in Turkey."
