In Sweden, the notion that governments are using mass immigration from the Third World to replace the European population is often dismissed as a “far-right conspiracy theory”.
In France, however, the climate of debate is different and the provocative left-wing leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is now openly celebrating plans to replace the ethnic French and turn the country into a “creole nation”.
– In our country, one in four people has a foreign grandparent. 40% of the population speaks at least two languages. We are destined to become a creole nation and so much better! May the young generation be the great replacement of the old generation, Mélenchon recently exclaimed during a rally in Toulouse.
Creole usually refers to a person of both European and black African descent and was historically used to describe the mixed population of the Caribbean.
According to the leftist leader, the new generation of ethnically mixed French people is needed to “heal France from the wounds of racism” – despite the fact that France is estimated to be one of the most tolerant and least discriminatory countries in the world.

“Creating something new”
Le Journal du Dimanche columnist Arnaud Benedetti notes that Mélenchon “has probably never before been so clear in his words and his vision, even if he has never really tried to hide it”.
“He points to his horizon and aims at his enemy. His horizon? Creolization, a euphemism for ‘the great exchange’. His enemy? Tradition, the past, yesterday’s and today’s France, which he denounces as an old rag to be thrown away because it no longer exists”.
French far left leader once again says the Great Replacement is real and good

In another speech last week, Mélenchon delivered the same message, cheerfully admitting that there is a population exchange in France.
– It’s about a generation that comes after another and will never be like the last one, he affirmed, stressing “the importance of this creolization which creates something new”.
