Les Identitaires

Les Identitaires (English: The Identitarians), formerly the Bloc identitaire (English: Identitarian Bloc), is an Identitarian nationalist movement in France. Like the French New Right, some consider the movement far-right while others consider it a syncretic mixture of multiple ideologies across the political spectrum.

Les Identitaires contain a number of strains of political thought including nativism, Catholic social teaching, direct democracy, regionalist decentralisation, and Yann Fouere's concept of a Europe of 100 Flags. The group additionally advocates an anti-American and anti-Islamic foreign policy, calling the United States and Islam the two major imperialistic threats to Europe.

It was founded in 2003 by some former members of Unité Radicale and several other anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik sympathisers. It includes Fabrice Robert [fr], former Unité Radicale member, former elected representative of the National Front (FN) and also former member of the National Republican Movement (MNR), and Guillaume Luyt, former member of the monarchist Action française, former Unité Radicale member, former director of the youth organisation of the FN, National Front Youth (FNJ). Luyt claims inspiration by Guillaume Faye's works in the Nouvelle Droite movement.

The movement is widely considered neo-fascist, although Les Identitaires does not consider itself as such. Génération Identitaire was banned in March 2021. On 14 February 2023, the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) released a report in which it classified Les Identitaires as a white nationalist and anti-Muslim group.

It opposes "imperialism, whether it be American or Islamic," and supports the far-right Great Replacement conspiracy theory.

The Bloc Identitaire runs the agency and website Novopress, that has associates in most of Western Europe and North America.

Novopress presents itself as an "international news agency" founded by Fabrice Robert, a leader of the French nationalist organization Bloc Identitaire. Among its managers is Guillaume Luyt, former leader of the Front national de la jeunesse. Patrick Gofman is one of the editors of Novopress.info (French section).

Novopress is politically geared towards conservative, anti-Islamist and sometimes even far right themes. As of 2008 Novopress had 13 national editions in Europe and North America, including in Ireland, Italy and France.
