A new book titled Extreme Right: The Great Peril (Rue de l'échiquier BD), written by sociologist Ugo Palheta and illustrated by Tommy, explores the history of the French National Front (RN), a political party founded in 1972. The book delves into the party's origins and the individuals who have shaped its ideology and strategy over the years. It highlights the involvement of former members of the Waffen-SS, a German military unit during World War II, and the OAS, a group that opposed French rule in Algeria. The book also discusses François Duprat, a Holocaust denier who played a role in developing the communication strategies still used by the RN today. The authors of Extreme Right: The Great Peril trace the party's evolution through various political and social changes, including recent events such as meetings held in 2026 between RN leaders and business executives. These gatherings have raised questions about the party's connections to economic and corporate interests. The book aims to challenge common assumptions about the RN's voter base, noting that less than a third of the working-class electorate voted for Marine Le Pen, the party's current leader, in the 2022 presidential election. This figure includes those who chose not to vote at all. The book also addresses the voting behavior of the most vulnerable members of society, suggesting that they often abstain from voting or support the left. It further notes that the radical left is gaining traction among young people, particularly those aged 18 to 24. This demographic shift highlights the changing political landscape in France and the potential for new movements to emerge. By examining the RN's past and current strategies, Extreme Right: The Great Peril provides a detailed analysis of the party's influence and its place in contemporary French politics. The book encourages readers to consider the broader implications of political movements and their impact on society.
