It seems it is no longer possible to shape people towards an alternative model of society—far from the one proposed by a corrupt and over-powerful state.

The news came as a shock to the French Right. Victor Aubert, the president and founder of the Catholic youth movement Academia Christiana, which was set up in 2013, announcedthat proceedings are underway to dissolve his association, on the initiative of Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin. For all those who know this remarkable organisation from near or far, incredulousness reigns supreme, as does the powerful feeling that we have definitely tipped over into a totalitarian era.

Victor Aubert learned the news at the beginning of December, on Monday, December 5th. The police raided his home and, in front of his traumatised children, handed him a letter from the Ministry of the Interior, informing him that the association of which he is president would be dissolved by the Council of Ministers in the coming weeks.

As Victor Aubert points out in an interview with Valeurs actuelles, “our activities include universities, training sessions, conferences, traditional festivals and folk dances.” This is the object of the government’s vindictiveness—at which it points a finger—on vague grounds: “incitement to hatred and discrimination,” incitement to violence.

Aubert is alarmed: in a video, he calls for an “army of builders” to rise up. A metaphorical and spiritual army, which is transformed by the political police into a belligerent threat. One of the authorities’ fantasies also sees fascism in the sports played by the association’s members at its summer universities—in an atmosphere that has more in common with a traditional village festival than with paramilitary training.
