Rock identitaire français

The rock identitaire français (RIF) is an "identity-and patriotic" flow in the French rock music , the various nationalist supported organizations. The Commission nationale consultative des droits de l'homme classifies him as right-wing extremist . A comparable phenomenon in Germany is called right-wing rock .

history

Developed in the second half of the 1990s, the rock identitaire français is described by its supporters as a system-critical counterculture and “culture of the rebels”, which is intended to reach a larger audience than traditional nationalism.

The actual goal of the Rock identitaire français is to win over young people for the extreme right, according to an analysis by the magazine L'Express . There - based on a statement by Fabrice Robert , the chairman of the Bloc identitaire - it is further stated that the commonality of this style of music is not rock music, as some groups also rap , but the racist ideology. L'Express also reports that the music scene known as the RIF is permeated with racist and aggressive language.

In their statements, the bands of the Rock identitaire français refer to political ideas that are directed against immigration to France and that demand priority for French citizens in state services, a so-called “préférence nationale”, as demanded by the Front National . Also, anti-Americanism and criticism of globalization are often repeated themes in their songs.

Rock identitaire français bands showed solidarity in 1999 during the Kosovo war with Serbia . The band In Memoriam gave a concert in Belgrade on April 25th and 26th, 1999. Her song Paris – Belgrade and the song by Vae Victis Sous les bombes (Under the Bombs) are about this war .

classification

According to a report by the police intelligence service Direction centrale des renseignements généraux from January 2005, right-wing extremist skinheads are very active in the rock identitaire français. In a report commissioned by the Commission nationale consultative des droits de l'homme to an employee of the Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l'amitié entre les peuples , the website coqgaulois.com, the most important internet portal of the Rock identitaire français, was among the racists Pages listed on the Internet.

Despite all accusations of racism by Les Verts and the Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l'amitié entre les peuples, no text from the Rock identitaire français has so far been prosecuted in court, unlike the Rock anticommuniste . However, in 1998 a concert that was to take place in memory of the nationalist activist Sébastien Deyzieu was canceled by the room lessor, Club Dunois.

After Le Monde and the Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l'amitié entre les peuples, Maxime Brunerie , who assassinated French President Jacques Chirac in 2002 , worked for the Bleu Blanc Rock label , recording rock identitaire français and rock sells anticommuniste.
