The Radical Right movement Génération Identitaire (GI) was banned by the French government on 3 March. Although the decision will be challenged in courts, it is very unlikely that it will be overturned, thus forcing the 800 to 1,000-members group to find new legal means to continue without facing criminal charges.
Curious about the future of the movement, I met with Clément Martin, one of GI’s former spokespeople, a day after the ban. Martin is in his late 20s, from the city of Nice. He jokes about “having grown white hair” and “belonging to a generation that has been hanging around with the movement for a decade,” saying it is time for younger members to get more responsibility.
