helping shape, political and media debate and arguably some of the policies of the microphone government. national symbols like jonah voc or my and the icon of the french republic being appropriated by the far right. and meanwhile, conspiracy theories like the great replacement, the idea that was in an immigrant will soon out. number white people in front have moved from the fringes to the mouth of main stream politicians. they may not have one of the ballot box, but the idea of the far right, as well as the failure of traditional policies to offer a compelling alternative or challenging the fundamentals of our democracy. one of those fundamentals is civic participation. the far right is rising french, people voting in ever, fewer numbers. and the dangerous gap is opening up between many of france's young people and those elected to lead them before we can pick up the clothes with the news. on monday, victor truit, a keystone plato is a rapper whose music reflects the this faction felt via rolling. that's in a french uniform, sit it with us christmas on poetry is not the boundary rebundle to consider russia for his audi foolish to supple ottawa in ohio. in october, he asked her to janet her to come over to her and to some period while usually deborah, pleasant with the wine and back nobody to. we shall dream. will she?

so we are noticing is that the atmosphere in the political, french life and the media french life are impacting our campus university and college in the center of paris. the fi rights activists are trying to concur, for example, the latin quarter in which there is the famous melbourne university, for example. and in that context, anti racist activists and ty fish just activists are facing things. i can tell that there is a change in the, in the campuses mood because when i, when i was a student, there was only one for right in campuses. but now to see how come on it is for you just to be part of the far right union or far right. group tells a lot about how the far right. as you, as you have been trivialized in their french, i mentality. this is very much, we're kind of crooks of the issue, right? we tend to think of a far right as, as exceptional. you know, we talk about the rise of the far right as if it was happening on the phone. and in fact, besides never been this way, you know, it wasn't this way in the 19 fifties and it's not the way today. and what we see is that the fall right rises when he's allowed to rise. when it's given platforms on the media, when it's given platforms on, on the ideas of mainstream politicians, when people invo mcclung government talk about walking them in a way that is incredibly reactionary. when people will target communities, such as a muslim community in france and by extension, any racialized communities were being shocked at the right of a fall, right? but actually, we're not tackling the roots, but lead to the rights rise on the far right. we shall very much within the mainstream which are within the mainstream elite, whether it is the media elite, the political leads or, and to some extent, you gotta kill each as well. we tend to think of the rise of a fall right originating from the white. so called white working class, which has been proven a very long time ago. but we've had these narratives is going to fantasies that we've created, that it's like people at the bottom who are angry and we just want something radically different. if the fact that dimension parties have been trying to seduce the far right voters for a while. so instead of focusing on social justice to bend his should, there was a way to gather more votes on focusing on those people who are sensitive to racism, sexism, and the other thing is that typically the left was very cold. anything though history offense is something that, that you can see here in the rhetoric of the, of the other lifting transfer example when it comes to california. and to trying to buy the size of a slam, especially the headscarf looking women. it would be prevented. all displayed by feminist as something to emancipate looking women. so you put that to help people to support them. you would try to assimilate them. and i think that we need also to understand that racism doesn't equate right. it's something that he's very well spread on the whole french political landscape. so can we talk about one of the far right theories that made it very mainstream, the so called great replacement, right? the braces theory that somehow white french people are going to be culturally and demographically replaced by known white people, particularly mrs. now we know there are many studies that have showed that, you know, this is not going to happen 70 for a very long time. and yet 67 percent of french people say they are worried about a great replacement. how did that happen? we need to be careful. we're open in pools, of course, because they don't give us the opinion of a public and adulterated, right? it's a mediated public opinion and the problem is the media is incredibly slanted on certain issues in france, and that goes back to what i was saying about history. in france, there has been a refusal to engage with the darkest corners of french history and to actually confront even the way of a countries i've tried not very successfully, but a little bit more than friends, at least. and in particularly colonization france as completely we can use to engage with colonization it, so their interest to pretend that there is no racism in france. it's a very dangerous and racist theory that the say that the populations apropos in the coming from africa to replace and go to concrete europe and replace the it's original population. what is done to reduce the fact that you can put that in mainstream. it's very important to, to understand how far that theory can go and how it can lead some people to tell. reason. yes, of course, the federal police action is changing, but mistaking replacement bytes and is not understanding the french history is if the french population is now so diverse it because science was the coronel power people didn't came trans by change. it's going to be kind of the good in that history offense, and it's how we today and what we have to do to deal with today. what it is interesting with the great replacement concept is the level of violence that we can notice on the ground. and especially on universities, for example, at the center of paris as mom could, it's at eczema approvals, acronym this is sit, is where there is prestigious universities in which and i resist and di fish activists were, threatens and were threatened with an iron bar by, by fire right, activists and moreover, we talk about this atmosphere about the great from placement, but there is also another atmosphere which is created by the microphone government . and as a student, i am sad to note is that the governments are not fighting enough for us to fight against this atmosphere. if i can just jump on this scene use during the campaign, invited her in the camera on the, on their platform, right? a founder of the concepts and the great person who actually does the name and the interview. is it honestly, mind blowing by any generalist extended is absolutely appalling. it's a friendly interview, is not any question is encouraged to kind of really talk about what i mean by a great written by the great replacement. i think we really need to be better at making the connection between these kind of mainstream sophisticated, legitimate ation of racism. and the actions on the grounds of emboldened far i doctors and i want to talk about that. so sin use for people who aren't familiar with it. you know, we could call it maybe the french fox news. it's the channel that really propelled one of the main candidates, at least he was given a lot of time. so that was the more i want to talk about it example right now because of course, during the campaign itself, he received a huge amount of time. and then when it came to the actual results here and you received 7 percent of the vote, he didn't even manage to get an a. c is an m p by in the legislative election. so i want how the media being amplifying, rather than merely reflecting the rise of the far right. what's the role of these television stations of these debates in, you know, the growing popularity of this movement and the movie, the creation of the media. like if it wasn't for the media, i wouldn't exist, it was for the push by the public service. we have to say that he was, you know, weekly on public service. even after being convicted for authoring basis. statements of the remains under the extra service every week, you know, sharing is very reactionary ideas. and the fact that he was so visible during the campaign made 9 append the head of the national rally. so do the, the leading far right body. it made her seem very reasonable because i think the more was to xtreme, so explicitly racy sent 60 if you know where it was. and that's pretty usual in the french politics. so i think that he lost, but at some point it was a winful mine been because she she could even challenge what, what, what things. so when you were thing that we should ban every, you know, of everything listening from friends, she with it know, as long as with respect, friends we okay. and at some point you would even thing that, oh yes she's, she's, she's, she's nice because because see but, but it was just hiding her why supremacist as it's under and having someone so extreme was really helpful for this. all right, right. so i'm just wondering in light of the fact that we know poles were showing that she people's primary concerns were actually around things like the cost of living crisis. why is there a disconnect? do you think between what we know people are saying and that real concerns? i would, i guess, discuss in the media. i mean, i think this like, you know, as he said, i mean, i think this may be cynicism as well. and he's going to fuse off of a fall right as a diversion. appealing filling the space and like hiding hiding particular political projects. but this is just not the reason is 40 years old. you know, we started in the last want me to home, who was socialist presidential, early united, eighty's. he was struggling because of authority and he tried to divide the far right by changing the, the electoral system to proportional. and this has been followed by, by yourself. the politicians, he realized that actually gave a far right is a useful idiot to go looked like a youth collegiate. and you could kind of, instead of making people think about or think about what they really care about, such as economic issues. as you were saying, make them think about immigration, make them think you know about about these make things made about other things. and, and that worked so incredibly well. and it's such a failure of democracy in a way of all the kind of things that should protect the democracy, like a strong diverse media, strong divers, voices like politics, people working for, for, for everyone. not just, you know, particular interest once they find the results of religious election, the results of a presidential election we've mainly been on the rise is not something we haven't seen coming. i remember when i was demonstrating in 2002 in drama heal up and go to the 2nd round of the presidential election. and i was the ones trading we've, we've, we've federal students and, you know, we failed, but we had to go in booth which actually hacked the center right candidate at the time. even though we did agreed. and you know, we ended up being elected with 82 percent of both and, and then ended up mainstreaming more far, right political, 5 years. and then it led to nicholas faculty who mainstream move are right, 46, which they've been possible on who was supposed to be on the left, but then mainstream more power, right, politics. and then of course him on your home and but finishes. and i think he's on unease, it is incredibly dangerous and faint can. i mean it's shameful, really? and i want to pick up on, on this. i want to ask you about parallels between the present moment and the 1913 with the surgeon support of the far right. sort of being compared to the rise of fascism. is that what we're seeing right now, or is this something completely different because it doesn't seem to be getting the response you might expect if it is a surge in fascism and like what, what we can say for sure is that the national rally has been founded by unities and, and just from fascism in mind. the band is to support in very vital can radical fashion groups. that's something that's something that is a fact. and that is not really commented as such by the media. and what i can tell is that the coverage of the rise of the far right is not fully understood as a venture is like it's, it's more and more seen as a very common body. that shouldn't be a tackle extreme. and what we hear the most is the extremes saying in the extreme right and the extreme left as if both of them equated. so you have on one hand, on the one end when body, which is trying to dismantle all the human rights that have been the basis of the republic. and on the other end, a party who is trying to be more social justice on every every, every challenge which is climate change thing isn't racism and any, any other kind of exclusion. so it might have been, has managed to just pretend that someone who is the family you have to do work in class, which is she is not she been very rich for you know, from the beginning and her interest is not the interest of the poor people in france, history never repeats itself, right? so i don't think we, we, we will get the same. what happened in the 930 is i don't think we need the last because jack boots really to, to are fresh, isn't coming, coming into the mainstream of politics. but i think there are lessons, but we really haven't learned the fact. but in the simple fog with simple historical factors about in 1900 thirty's, when been 900 rose to power. the 1st thing has been ever been ever one elections with a massive support. right. and in fact, when hitler gets to power the support his waning right, if he gets to power again, he's be, it's because he's used as a useful idiot by the center to prevent the rise of the lift. you know, and what we're not learning is that the far doesn't get to power. and it's when people are fed up with the system, the front us are not a boss. i'm going to send out it. is there a symptom of that's about systemic failure, but they only a symptom and a very, very small symptom. in fact, when you think about it, compared to actually that people who abstain visual and who have been completely forgotten, like people, people are trying to express more progressive, more optimistic ways to change the system, but the not listen to an instead. but far right has given the platform and the far right is posted as the on yesterday chief to a system but doesn't work anymore. and so at what points do we sound the alarm? what is the, the moment in which the, someone presses the red button and it says, this is no longer normal. this is no longer democratic electoral politics. this is an existential threats to the very basis of this country. when is that moment for the rise of people as me who are coming from former colon is and who are for example, my mother is there was in my father's muslim. so i know that i will be the 1st and me of the fire addict germans. i'm in france, so i the student as a night, another and as a young person, i will not wait for the face of them to come. and this is important to talk about how the young people are facing it, racism, discrimination, stigmatization, and how our lives are impacted by fire, right extremism. i think there is a strong reference on the ground and that the response doesn't get coverage. the things to me is a discrepancy between what you can see in the media and what people say on the ground, no social media and how they feel with the rise of this i. right? so i think that they have very much attention, but it's not really in line with what they, how their way to be on the french minds think we, you know, we need to sound the like. people are suffering already from the rise of a story. but i think we need to sound it critically. we need to shift focus away from, from the same old discourse is, and we also need to have a progressive alternatives. and lots of people are working for that on the grounds . you know, we just don't talk about them. we just talk about the say more people who have no answer to the issues we're facing, whether it's the far right or the crisis. but all but our world is facing, meeting with the far right parties or like any other mid to me, it feels like that degrading the fabric of our society and changing the core of our democracy perhaps was the is a fee they create in the lives of ordinary people and the political cowardice of those who fail to challenge the narrative with a robust defense of an inclusive society. mm hm. 0, one. 0 no. that was us. did you st. louis? not all during the past cruisers to more in a french government is now fully take the ownership of their political agenda, which is basically to seek and destroy any form of political criticism of systemic racism. i oh, he got cavities with getting a gun, eating montgomery ideals, the french republic, his long proclaimed, but just wooded modern france in a 4 part series. the big picture takes an in depth look. france, im focus. the concluding episode on al jazeera, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what you see out is nora will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. out as in europe, african countries have struggled to reclaim many of the artifacts taken by european colonizers. and this is our experience of our identity. in the final part of this new series, museums and collectors still hold precious assets like the bin bronzes. few have been returned, but the still a long way to go and progress is painfully slow. restitution africa stolen all the pottery ation on orders here. when the news breaks, people haven't delayed hall breaking decisions on whether to leave behind their homes and loved ones. when people need to be heard, and the story told that if they leave in the home, we hope to return one day with exclusive interviews and in depth reports al jazeera has teens on the ground. president biden need to contain fuel prices. one way to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news ah.
