France Makes Plans To Ban Ethno-Nationalist Group Generation Identity

(New York, N.Y.) – Last week, France announced it would implement a ban and
begin the dissolution of
<[link removed]>
Generation Identity (GI), a pan-European youth movement and ethno-nationalist
group that seeks to stop globalization and what it views as the Islamization of
Europe. The move comes after the group allegedlyincited violence and racial
hatred
<[link removed]>
against migrants last month along the country’s border with Spain. According
to French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, GIviolated
<[link removed]>
a law that prohibits “incitement to discriminate against a person or group
because of their origin.”

 

The decision to ban GI came the same week of the French National Assembly’s
passage
<[link removed]>
of a new bill to combat Islamist extremism and violence. The bill was passed
in response to a recent series of violent attacks in France last year,
including the fatal stabbing of three in Nice, the beheading of Samuel Paty in
a Paris suburb, and the stabbing of two bystanders near the formerCharlie Hebdo
office. Around the time of these attacks, police in Avignonshot and killed
<[link removed]> an armed man who was waving
a gun and reportedly wearing a “Defend Europe” jacket from the GI group. The
bill now heads to France’s Senate for final approval.

 

Founded in France in 2012 as the youth wing of France’s Les Identitaires
movement, GI believes that white Europeans are falling victim to “the Great
Replacement”— or, “the process by which the indigenous European population is
replaced by non-European migrants.” GI ultimately seeks to reverse the “Great
Replacement.” To realize its mission, the network has issued five demands:
preserve European ethno-cultural identity, defend freedom of speech and opinion
against far-left attacks, repatriate illegal immigrants to their countries of
origin, promote regional development in African countries to stem emigration,
and secure national borders. Today, chapters of this organization exist in the
United Kingdom and Ireland, Germany, Austria, and Belgium.
