“I know the right end of the Interior.” It is the conviction of the first outgoing secretary of the Olivier Faure Socialist Party, which is based on his work I pick you again Threw on Wednesday, April 30, an intimate portrait of his father, a fervent voter of the extreme right.
Born in a family influenced by the writings of Charles Maurras and French action, Bruno Faure joined the left, after being appointed official at the meeting, before returning to the last years of his life at the end right.
“He was seduced by the thesis of the great replacement”
Surely “because this world was perhaps too fast for him,” analyzes Olivier Faure this morning at the France inter microphone. “He was seduced by the thesis of the great replacement. He thought that the situation that had belonged was in danger.”
A “heartbreak” for the deputy of Sena-Et-Marne, who says he wants, through this book, “fight”, this extreme right whose ideas shook his childhood. “This book is the story of a broken thread with a man, my father,” he explains, but it is not a call to the voters left by the banks to the left in favor of abstention or Marine Le Pen.
The right “has not changed”
When asked about the similarities between his father’s extreme right, and the national demonstration party of which Marine Le Pen is the leader, Olivier Faure is final:
“Madame Le Pen’s matrix is the same as my father’s,” he said.
“The reality is that these people have not changed. They effled their speech, they modified it, they sought to become acceptable, but the background of salsa remained the same and, therefore, that is what I want to fight.” A game, which the deputy has already begun in the pages of his work that appears as an instrument at the service of a political mission, of a moral duty.
In X, this Wednesday morning, Olivier Faure said he wanted to “look for” all “that have gone to inflate the ranks of the extreme right.” “These popular classes that voted massively for the left and that prefer Bardella or Le Pen. I do not solve. Our vocation is to find them.”
Born from a French father and a refugee mother Vietnamese, Olivier Faure sees in his parents’ marriage the proof that opinions can evolve. “This is the demonstration that sometimes, thanks to love, we can change many things,” he said in France Inter.
Coming from a nationalist Vietnamese family, nothing predestined his mother to meet his father. “If my two grandparents had met, I don’t know what they would have told themselves as life, their consciences and their prejudices had taken them to others,” explains Olivier Faure.
And yet, “my parents loved themselves and my mother was loved by my grandfather and my grandmother’s partner, my uncles and my aunts,” he concludes.
