Alain Soral

Alain Bonnet, known as Alain Soral (French: [alɛ̃ sɔʁal]; born 2 October 1958), is a far-right Franco-Swiss ideologue, essayist, filmmaker, and actor.

Having been a member of the French Communist Party in the 1990s, Soral worked for the National Front before leaving in 2009. In 2007, he founded his own political association, Égalité & Réconciliation (Equality and Reconciliation), with former GUD members. At the same time, he also launched a publishing company, KontreKulture, which he uses to publish contemporary controversial authors. In 2019, Soral received a prison sentence in France for using anti-semitic slurs to label the Pantheon in a video, incentive to racial hatred, apology of crime against humanity, and Holocaust denial. In 2023, he received another prison sentence, this time in Switzerland, for defamation, discrimination, and incitement to hatred.
