About Pierre Sidos

  • Pierre Sidos (born 6 January 1927) is a French far right nationalist, neo-PĂ©tainist and antisemitic activist.
  • One of main the figures of post-WWII nationalism in France, Sidos was the founder and leader of the nationalist organizations Jeune Nation (1949-58) and L'Ĺ’uvre Française (1968-2013).
  • Sidos was convicted in 1946 for joining the fascist Mouvement Franciste at 16 years old in the midst of WWII and Nazi occupation of France.
  • After spending two years of internment in Natzweiler-Struthof, he founded in 1949 Jeune Nation, the most prominent French neo-fascist movement of the 1950s.
  • Famous for its insurrectional violence during the Algerian war, the organization was dissolved by official decree in 1958. Convicted a second time in 1963 for "recreating a disbanded league" and "compromising State security", Sidos founded Occident the following year, but soon broke with the group.
  • He eventually established another Vychist movement in 1968, L'Ĺ’uvre Française, of which he was the leader until he stepped down in 2012.
  • The movement was banned a year later, making it the fourth association founded by Sidos to be dissolved by the French authorities, and the fifth he had been part of, in a 70-year period of nationalist and crypto-fascist activism.
