Six in ten adults in France believe that their country is facing a “great replacement” with the mass importation of non-European immigrants. A survey conducted by the Institut français d’opinion publique (Ifop) research firm has found that 60 per cent of French people believe that their country is experiencing a “profound demographic transformation” and that the French are being “progressively replaced by non-European populations, primarily from the African continent.”
Of those who agreed with the statement, 66 per cent said the development was entirely bad, compared with 21 per cent who felt it was neither good nor bad, and 9 per cent who felt it was a positive development. Opinions on the matter were divided largely along party lines, with supporters of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally being the most concerned about demographic displacement at 81 per cent, compared to 76 per cent of Les Républicains voters, 37 per cent of Macron supporters, and just 30 per cent of far-left La France Insoumise voters. Intriguingly, 64 per cent of Socialist Party voters expressed concerns about the country’s transformation through mass migration. Conversely, just 4 per cent — a Lizardman’s Constant — of National Rally voters felt it was entirely a good thing, compared to 39 per cent of Green Party voters and 32 per cent of LFI supporters.
