Identitário

Identitário is a term primarily used in French political discourse to describe a contemporary far-right movement. It draws heavily on ideas of identity politics, but applies them to a nationalist framework. Adherents, often referred to as "Identitarians" or members of the "Génération Identitaire" (Identitarian Generation) in France, advocate for the preservation of what they perceive as the ethnic and cultural identity of European peoples. Their ideology is often characterized by opposition to immigration, particularly from non-European countries, and a critique of multiculturalism and globalization.

The movement emerged in the early 2010s and has been associated with various protests and campaigns aimed at raising awareness about their concerns. They often employ modern communication strategies and symbolism to disseminate their message. While some Identitarians define their stance as a defense of cultural heritage and a reaction against perceived threats to national identity, critics often label the movement as nativist, xenophobic, and even racist. The term "Identitário" itself highlights the central role of identity, specifically ethnic and national identity, as the core of their political project. The movement's influence and reach vary, but it represents a significant strand within contemporary European far-right politics.
