3 unusual facts about Groupe Union Défense


Groupe Union Défense

In 1988, the group united itself with Jeune Résistance and the Union des cercles résistance, offshoots of Nouvelle Résistance National Bolshevist group, under the name Unité Radicale, dissolved after Maxime Brunerie's failed assassination attempt on president Jacques Chirac.

The GUD is also regularly censored by the head of the Assas university because of racist hate speech, in particular following provocations towards the Union des étudiants juifs de France, the French Jewish Students Union.

It was founded in 1968 under the name Union Droit at Panthéon-Assas University by Gérard Longuet, Gérard Ecorcheville and Alain Robert, after the dissolving of the Fédération des étudiants nationalistes and some members of the group Occident.
