Groupe Union Défense (originally named Groupe Union Droit), better known as GUD, was a French far-right students' union formed in the 1960s. After a period of inactivity it relaunched in 2022.[1][2][3]

The GUD was based in Panthéon-Assas University,[4][5][6] a law school in Paris.

On 26 June 2024, the French government ordered the dissolution of the GUD.[7]

Ideology

Formed as far-right, anti-communist youth organization, in the mid-1980s, the GUD turned toward support of the Third Position movements and "national revolutionary" theories,[8] as well as embracing anti-Zionism, anti-Americanism and support for Hafez al-Assad.[9]

Culture

GUD took as symbol the Celtic cross and the comic black rats (rats noirs).[10][11]

Some music groups of Rock identitaire français had connections with GUD.[12][13][14]

History

Members of the GUD during demonstration in Paris in 2012

GUD was founded in December 1968 under the name Union Droit at Panthéon-Assas University[9] by Template:Ill, Gérard Longuet,[15] Gérard Ecorcheville and some members of the political movement Occident. In its early period, it was a reactionary bourgeois student movement, and some of its early members went on to become mainstream conservative politicians, including Gérard Longuet, Hervé Novelli and Alain Madelin.[9][16]

Members of the GUD participated in the 1969 founding of Ordre Nouveau.[17]

During the 1970s and early 1980s, linked to the Parti des forces nouvelles (PFN), the GUD published the satiric monthly Alternative.[17] Members in this period included Alain Orsoni, a Corsican nationalist linked to organised crime and suspected of the murder of Marie-Jeanne Bozzi.[9]

On 9 May 1994 GUD member Template:Ill died after clashes between nationalists and riot police.[18][19] Following these event, some French nationalist groups formed an umbrella organization Comité du 9-Mai (C9M) and holdsTemplate:Clarify yearly a commemorative marches in Paris on May 9.[20][21]

In 1998, the Group united itself with Jeune Résistance and the Union des cercles résistance, offshoots of Nouvelle Résistance group, under the name Unité Radicale, but it was dissolved[22][23] after Maxime Brunerie's failed assassination attempt on president Jacques Chirac.[24]

In 2004, the GUD reformed under the name Template:Ill. Its publication was Le Dissident.[25]

In 2017 members of the GUD squatted a building in Lyon and founded political movement Social Bastion.[26][27][28]

In late 2022, graffiti appeared in educational institutions in Paris (including the École Normale Supérieure) saying "GUD is back"; a video was released on Template:Ill, a Telegram channel used by the far right, commemorating some Greek neo-Nazis; and the GUD slogan “Europe, Youth, Revolution” appeared on stickers in Paris and chants at a right-wing demonstration in Lyon. Its activists were reported to be drawn from far-right trade union La Cocarde Étudiante, the ultra-right group the Zouaves, traditionalist Catholics from Versailles, and football hooligans.[9]

Members

Successive leaders of the GUD were: Alain Robert, Jack Marchal, Jean-François Santacroce, Serge Rep, Philippe Cuignache, Charles-Henri Varaut, Frédéric Chatillon, William Bonnefoy, Benoît Fleury.

Military volunteers

Some GUD members have fought in Lebanese Civil War with the Kataeb Party[29] in 1976, Croatian War of Independence[30] in the 1990s and in Burma during Karen conflict.[31] In 1985 member of the GUD Jean-Philippe Courrèges was killed in action fighting for the Karen National Liberation Army.[32]

GUD members have had links with the Department for Protection and Security, which is the security organization of the far-right political party National Front.[33]

Former member of the GUD Alain Orsoni was member of the FLNC.[34]
