Interview with Alban Ferrari

Alban Ferrari, you are one of the Generation Identitaire’s leaders. Your ‘Declaration of War’ video has been seen thousands times in a short time. Does this success surprise you ?

Today, Saturday October 13th, just eight days after the launch of our website generation-identitaire.com, the video has been seen by 60,000 persons. Indeed, this is a great success.

 The making of the video was a large project. Technically, it’s close to professional production standards within the audio-visual world, using an HD video camera, and emotional instrumental music. From a substantive point of view, the text of our Declaration of War is a total success.

 When we presented it to our militants at the 2012 edition of the Identitarian Camp [political learning camp each August 15th week every year since 2003], you could see great emotion in their eyes and faces.

 The success of the video proves that we have the right direction and that our message is shared by a majority of the youth from here. And when the youth who come from elsewhere see that video, they realise that some babtous [african immigrant slang for “whites”] exist who walk with our heads held high.

 You translated this video into many european languages. More over, have you received congratulatory messages from Europe and other continents? Can we say that Génération Identitaire have a pan-European vision and seek to “become” a European movement by joining with other movements that  share the same values across the continent?

No, we haven’t translated our Declaration of War. That was planned, but we were overtaken by spontaneous initiatives. Indeed, the video was copied and broadcast with foreign subtitles, which then took up a lot of our time in order to ensure that our ideas are properly understood across the entire continent; in German; Spanish; English; Italian; and Greek.

 These videos have had thousands of views and the English version has been seen as many times as the French one. Each time, it has been because of individual initiatives from people we didn’t know. We have contacted some of them and we hope for great collaborations in the future.

 The Internet is a truly good tool of communication and broadcasting. We have even received messages of support from the USA, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina and Australia.

 I would like to take this opportunity to salute these European descendants who recognised themselves in our message. There also now exists a German Facebook page called Identitäre Bewegung which uses our name, our symbols and global aesthetic. This page has around 1,000 fans as does our official French page!

 Currently, we have links and feel close to the Vlaams Belang youth movement in Belgian Flanders, the youth of Platform for Catalonia and of the Northern League in Padania, in the northern region of Italy. We also look with interest at what new organizations do, like W.I.R of Vienna (Austria).

 Génération Identitaire want to establish durable relations with all youth communities that share our vision all over Europe. We attach a lot importance to the European dimension of our fight. From Paris to Bucharest and from Stockholm to Athens, the youth, who are heirs of a great common civilisation, have to look in the same direction. It’s simply a matter of survival.

Your Declaration of War video focuses on the very negative balance sheet of the “vivre ensemble” [the “living-together”, propaganda term in French political correctness] and multiculturalism. You seem to come back to the fundamentals of the Identitarian Movement and also affirm that the true problem is, first and foremostl, immigration and the population replacement we endure…

Our Declaration of War summarises our world view. As the European youth advance guard, we are in the front line facing immigration ravages, the consequences of 40 years of globalization.

The rise of Islam in France is also the logical consequence of these undesired population changes brought about by the international Left and the bosses.

As an Identitarian, daily life in Maghreb, the Middle-East or New-Guinea is not my concern. People there are free to live according to their traditions. Unfortunately, multiculturalism and the process of creating global uniformity try to erase cultural differences everywhere.

We are young men who live in our century (in the religious words) and who have chosen the love of our people and ours as a sacred vocation. Of course, as socially integrated students and workers, we want “community”, but without immigrants. I don’t think that’s a return to fundamentalism, it’s more the giving of a clear and educated explanation of the Identitarian world view as developed over the last 10 years.

Finally, I wish to salute our comrades from Berlin, Verona, Barcelona, Brussels, London, Vienna, Athens and throughout Europe. For your people, for your land, Identitarian Generation!
