This article is about the France-based political organization. For the World War II French resistance movement, see National Council of the Resistance.
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
History
Background
Renaud Camus, a French writer and co-founder of the movement, coined in 2010–2011 the concept of "Great Replacement", a theory which supposes that "replacist elites"[b] are colluding against the White French and Europeans in order to replace them with non-European peoples—specifically Muslim populations from Africa and the Middle East—through mass migration, demographic growth and a drop in the European birth rate; a process he labeled "genocide by substitution."[12][13] Camus was a candidate in the 2012 French presidential election, but failed to gain enough elected representatives presentations to be able to run for president, and eventually decided to support Marine Le Pen.[14][15]
Creation
On 9 November 2017, in a public address in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises—the village where Charles de Gaulle is buried—Renaud Camus announced the foundation of the National Council of European Resistance and asked for a collective European commitment.[5]
All the European nations are invited to lead by our side the fight for the salvation of our common civilization, Celtic, Slavic, Greco-Latin, Judeo-Christian, and free-thinking.
