described in a disturbing way this group of individuals as a whole by employing a vocabulary and resorting to comparisons history inviting hatred and violence

Renaud Camus also “
paints a disturbing image of immigrants as a whole by presenting them as refusing any integration into French society
” and “
as having a desire for domination
”, he continues.
The far-right writer thus described the “
great replacement
” as ““
demographic colonization
”
, more serious and deeper than previous colonizations,
“
genocide by substitution
”
,
“
migratory submersion
”
,
“
ethnic cleansing
” .
or even
“
Nazi practice

"
These comments are likely to arouse a feeling of rejection and fear towards these people, thus encouraging discriminatory behavior against them because of their origin, their non-membership of the French nation and their race.

A formal notice from the regulator may precede, in the event of repeated breaches, a sanction.
