GRECE

From Metapedia

The Groupement de recherche et d'études pour la civilisation européenne ("Research and Study Group for European Civilization"), also known as GRECE (French acronym for "Greece") is an ethnonationalist think-tank, founded in 1968 by the journalist and writer Alain de Benoist. It thought of as the leading group of the Nouvelle Droite.

GRECE distinguishes itself from other traditionalist conservative organizations in displaying specific interest for Germanic and Nordic cultures, rejection of Christianity and monotheism, and advocating a come-back of paganism.

Recently, however, GRECE’s opposition to multiculturalism has undergone a significant shift. Until 1998, it consistently opposed multiculturalist efforts to recognize immigrant communities as separate legal entities, for it claimed these efforts threatened the integrity of French identity. Then, rather unexpectedly, it reversed course, adopting a “communitarian” position favoring the public recognition of non-French communities—so that immigrants could be able to “keep alive the structures of their collective cultural existence.” To some, this shift constitutes nothing less than an identitarian betrayal, for others a recognition that Europe’s enemy is not the immigrant per se, but the system responsible for immigration. The shift was not without controversy, with New Rightists like Guillaume Faye and others rejecting it.-- Samuel Francis
