The National Council of European Resistance (French: Conseil national de la résistance européenne, officially abbreviated as CNRE) is a France-based political organization[4][lower-alpha 1] that was founded by Renaud Camus and Karim Ouchikh on 9 November 2017 by analogy to the National Council of the Resistance.[5] It has links to the identitarian movement.[6][7]

The Council is intended to bring together qualified French and European personalities who aspire to "work for the defence of European civilization"[8] — to oppose the Great Replacement, immigration to Europe, and, more generally, to defeat replacist totalitarianism,[8][9] a concept theorized by Renaud Camus.[10][11][12]

Members of the Council include high-ranking European officials, such as former President of the Czech Republic Václav Klaus, former members of the European Parliament Jean-Yves Le Gallou and Paul-Marie Coûteaux, current member of the European Parliament Janice Atkinson, and former député to the National Assembly of France Christian Vanneste, as well as Africanist historian Bernard Lugan, Roman Catholic abbot Father Guy Pagès, and Swiss-American businesswoman Eliana Benador.[1] It is strictly enlarged by co-option.[8]

History

The Great Replacement

Camus' tract for his 2014 "day of anger" manifestation against the "great replacement": "No to the change of people and of civilization and no to antisemitism"

Since 2010 Camus has been warning of the purported danger of the "Great Replacement" (Grand Remplacement), the supposed replacement of ethnic French people with immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa.[13][14][15]

Etymology

The name Conseil national de la résistance européenne is a reference to the coordinating body of the French Resistance during the German occupation of France — the National Council of the Resistance.

When asked how the CNRE could be both national and European, Renaud Camus replied:

The Council is national in that each and every nation is responsible for defending its independence and protecting its culture. It is European because our civilisational struggle must be fought in concert with and by all Europeans.

— Renaud Camus

I think the replacement is, in general, a phenomenon. Islam [and Muslim migration] is just the form it takes in Occidental Europe especially, and especially in France probably. And it does make the matter worse because it is very strong, it’s a very strong culture and civilization with its own language and its own religion. But it's not essential to the very idea of replacement. And for instance, in Western Europe, the replacement is just as much by black Africa as it is by Northern Islamic Africans.

Camus's problem was not, as it might be for many French citizens, that the religious symbolism of the veil clashed with some of the country’s most cherished secularist principles; it was that the veil wearers were permanent interlopers in Camus's homeland. He became obsessed with the diminishing ethnic purity of Western Europe.
