In fact, Heïdy has been close to the far-right for years. Various photographers have contacted different antifascist sites to make clear that they have broken all relations with her. In September, Montréal Antifasciste published an article Let’s be perfectly clear, we target Atalante Québec so heavily because they are a far-right organization directly modelled on European neofascist and identitarian movements like If more proof is required, we’d be more than happy to oblige.From the get-go, the communiqué is a wee bit defensive:« Dans un premier lieu, Atalante n’est pas un mouvement prônant la haine de l’autre, mais l’amour des siens.

This is the slogan inscribed on the gate of the Nazi extermination camp in Auschwitz.In addition to the “anticommunist rock” (RAC) bands already mentioned, Atalante’s entourage is fond of National Socialist Black Metal (or NSBM, a Nazi subgenre of black metal) bands. Not only did Barras not distance himself from Raphaël Lévesque, the Mailhot-Bruneau brothers, and company, he has often participated in Atalante activities in recent years, as well as continuing to provoke and intimidate the Quebec City left, notably by marching with other members of the Stompers into the middle of a small abortion rights demonstration in August 2015, and more recently … Atalante’s social activity in “its milieu,” they tell us, includes “distributing food,” cleaning up graffiti, and providing “aid to families,” while their political activity is limited to “postering, publicity stunts, counter-demonstrations, commemorations, philosophical education, and physical training.”Even leaving aside the fact that the political activity in question promotes an “ultranationalist,” viciously identitarian, and xenophobic project (hello, “remigration”!
