‘We’ve been there’: French Resistance fighters speak out against rule by the far right

Aged merely 22, he was deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp and the nearby Schönebeck camp where he spent nearly two years. He escaped in April 1945 just before the Americans arrived.

After the liberation of France, Lebranchu took up rowing again and won the French championship, twice.

Now at 101 years of age, Lebranchu is worried about the future of his country.

“I was deported for acts of resistance, I don’t want us to be governed by former SS men”, he said, referring to founding members of the FN. Among them were Léon Gaultier and Pierre Bousquet, two Frenchmen who had joined the ranks of the Waffen-SS.

“When you’ve been through the hands of the SS like I have, you can expect anything,” the former Resistance fighter said, adding that he hopes that parties from “the centre will come together and stand shoulder by shoulder” against the far right.

‘Danger on our doorstep’

Meanwhile former Resistance fighter Jean Lafaurie takes a broader approach. For him, it is necessary for parties across all political divides to band together to prevent the National rally from taking power.

“We have to block this party, which is harmful to France,” he said. “When I hear people from the right or government representatives say that we can’t vote for the New Popular Front (a left-wing alliance)” because they object to certain candidates, “I say that blocking means blocking. We can discuss the details later”.
