The Bloc Identitaire is a nativist movement originated from France and present in several states on the European continent. It was founded in 2003 by some former members of Unité Radicale and several other nationalist sympathisers, including Fabrice Robert, former Unité Radicale member, former elected representative of the National Front (FN) and also former member of the National Republican Movement (MNR), and Guillaume Luyt, former member of the monarchist Action française, former Unité Radicale member, former director of the youth organisation of the FN, National Front Youth (FNJ). Luyt claims inspiration by Guillaume Faye's works in the Nouvelle Droite movement.
The youth wing of Bloc Identitaire, called in France Génération Identitaire (Generation Identity), expanded to other European states soon after its creation in 2012, the most important being Generazione Identitaria in Italy and Identitäre Bewegung in Germany and Austria. Other youth wings are also present in the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Slovenia.
The Bloc Identitaire aims to be a "rally for young French and Europeans who are proud of their roots and of their heritage". It opposes "imperialism, whether it be American or Islamic".
The Bloc identitaire runs the nationalist press agency and website Novopress, that has associates in most of Western Europe and North America.
The Bloc Identitaire is a composite of a number of strains of political thought including Catholic social teaching, direct democracy, regionalist decentralisation, non-Marxist European socialisms and Yann Fouere's concept of a Europe of 100 flags.
