Guillaume Faye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guillaume Faye (1949 - ) is a French far right journalist and writer.
With a PhD from Science-Po, Guillaume Faye was one of the major theorists of the French New Right (Nouvelle Droite) in the 1970-1980’s. A former member of Alain de Benoist’s new-right organisation GRECE, he took part in the splitting of the organization in 1986 alongside Yann-Ber Tillenon, Tristan Mordrelle, and Goulven Pennaod. At that time he was close to the heathen and anti-Christian far-right circles. Simultaneously, he made his way up as a journalist, namely in Figaro Magazine, Paris-Match, VSD, etc. Guillaume Faye also led a journal called J'ai Tout Compris! (I Understood Everything!) which closed down soon after.
In 1987 Guillaume Faye withdrew from politics. In the years 1990 he took part in Skyrock radio station as ‘Skyman’. He also appeared in Telematin emission on France 2 TV channel from 1991 to 1993. In 1998 he finally returned to politics after publishing some essays on various subjects such as culture, religion, etc. In 2000, Faye re-launched J'ai Tout Compris! as a monthly edition where he expresses his ideas: Faye predicts an abolition of European societies due to massive immigration, and a total war between the West and the Islamic world, endorsing the "clash of civilization" theory.
He takes part in the Rivarol far-right journal and regularly collaborates with Pierre Vial's Terre et peuple far-right, heathen group. He also participates to conferences abroad, such as with the US White nationalist group American Renaissance on March 3, 2006. On 8 and 9 June, 2006, he was attending in Moscow an international conference on the "future of the White World", which gave rise to the Council of People from European Origins [1].
He has been criticized for criticizing Holocaust denial.[citation needed] Faye has been criticized for his "extremism" by Alain de Benoist in a March 2000 interview published in the Italian review Area, close to the Alleanza Nazionale [2]..
