With the city authorities’ approval, about 500 joined a far-right anti-immigrant torchlight march through central Paris, an annual event organized by the French far-right group Paris-Fierte. As the fascists marched through the heart of Paris near the monument to Saint Genevieve, the patroness of the French capital, about 300 anti-fascists organized a counter-protest under heavy police surveillance. However, no clashes were reported.
The march comes as French President Emmanuel Macron’s teamed up with the far-right to pass a controversial new anti-immigration bill last month. Lawmakers from Macron’s centrist party voted for the bill along with the conservative Les Républicains and fascist leader Marine Le Pen’s National Rally Party.
The recent rise in anti-immigrant and far-right rallies is not unique to France. Just in recent weeks, fascists have rallied across Europe, with hundreds marching through Rome, Italy, while doing the Roman Salute. Meanwhile, the far-right in Germany discussed the deportation of millions of migrants while reaching an all-time high approval rate in nationwide polls.
