Alain Soral, identified in the civil registry as Alain Bonnet, and frequently also named using the full family name as Alain Bonnet de Soral (French: [alɛ̃ sɔʁal]; born 2 October 1958), is a Franco-Swiss author, journalist, essayist, and film maker. He is the brother of the actress Agnès Soral, who first used the simplified "Soral" pseudonym, which his sister now also uses. Soral lives in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques. Since June 2004, he has been a boxing coach. Soral was originally a communist and later worked for the far-right National Front before leaving in 2009. In July 2015 he co-founded his own party, Réconciliation Nationale (National Reconciliation) with Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, a French comedian of French and Camerounien origin. Soral has attracted controversy for alleged antisemitism and alleged 'incitement of racial hatred', including being convicted in court for incitement for saying about Hitler, "[t]his is what happens when you don’t finish the job" in relation to Jews.
Soral was born in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie and grew up in the suburbs of Annemasse (department of Haute-Savoie), where he attended a local primary school. When Soral was about 12, his family moved to Meudon la Forêt so that he could go to a reputable private Catholic high school, the Collège Stanislas de Paris. Soral spent two years doing small jobs before being accepted into the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts at 20, where he studied for two years. Soral was then taken in by a family of academics, who encouraged him to enroll at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, where he attended lectures given by Cornelius Castoriadis.
