In Renaud Camus on Remigration: The Bourne Speech, Camus argues that mass immigration into Europe is a form of colonization, which he calls "the Great Replacement", and that only remigration, meaning the organized return of immigrants, can preserve European nations and civilization. He criticizes the legal and political systems that protect this demographic shift, calling them part of a broader ideology he terms "Global Replacism", driven by elites, international finance, and ideological conformity. Camus compares the current situation to historical occupations, and calls for a peaceful but determined decolonial resistance, based on civil disobedience and national renewal.
He was denied entry to the United Kingdom to deliver this speech at the "Big Remigration Conference" on April 26, 2025, organized by the Homeland Party.
Renaud Camus
A native of Chamalières in the Auvergne region of central France, Renaud Camus (b. 1946) is one of France's most brilliant stylists and the author of more than 150 books. Tricks, his first and only work to be translated into English until now, appeared in 1979 and was prefaced by Roland Barthes, one of twentieth-century France's greatest literary critics and Camus' mentor. In addition to the political essays collected in Enemy of the Disaster, Camus is also known for works of fiction, philosophy, travel writing, art criticism, and the extensive diary he has kept and published for over forty years. He lives in the Chateau de Plieux in the village of Plieux in southwestern France and is the president of a small political party, the Party of In-nocence, which advocates immigration and education reform and the promotion of civic peace.
