Life and activism

Holeindre was born in Corsica and grew up in the departments of Vosges and Seine-Saint-Denis . He claimed in 1989 that he stole two German machine guns during the German occupation of France , which killed a friend. However, this has never been confirmed, and neither has a collaboration with the Germans.

After working as a steel worker, he fought on the French side against the independence of Indochina and Algeria . After a head wound, he lived in Tebessa (Eastern Algeria). There he opened a youth center for Muslim youth.

He joined the terrorist group Organization de l'armée secrète (OAS), which rejected the 1962 Treaty of Evian , which guaranteed the independence of Algeria, and opposed it with violence. Holeindre also founded the FAF ( Front pour l'Algérie Française ). During this time he met with Bruno Gollnisch . After serving a prison sentence for membership in the OAS, he worked as a reporter for Paris-Match . During this time he was in contact with young members of the right-wing extremist Occident movement .

In January 1968, Holeindre founded the Front uni de soutien au Sud-Viêt-Nam , which supported US troops in Vietnam.

Roger Holeindre joined the Front national , founded in 1972 by Jean-Marie Le Pen and François Brigneau . He was deputy chairman of the Seine-Saint-Denis area from 1986-88 and then became vice-president of the party.

He chaired the right-wing Cercle national des combattants (National Veterans Association). He supported Le Pen against Bruno Mégret's attempt to take control of the FN. The split of the party between Mégret and Le Pen on July 16, 1997 was initiated by Holeindre. Within the FN he was assigned to the bourgeois right-wing bloc, which distanced itself from the revolutionary right. After Marine Le Pen was elected as the new party leader of the FN against Bruno Gollnisch, who he supported, in January 2011, he publicly opposed the change of course she initiated towards a welfare-oriented economic policy and the affirmation of secularism . Eventually he resigned from the FN, stating that Marine Le Pen "in no way represented the values" which he had always defended. In the summer of 2011 he joined the right-wing Parti de la France by Carl Lang at, was in 2012 a member of the party leadership and was from 2016 its honorary chairman.
