While the concept of remigration has long existed in academia, its hijacking by the far right on social media appears to have begun about a decade ago when French adherents to identitarianism, an ethno-nationalist movement, organised what they described as the inaugural meeting in Paris on remigration.
2024 October 3, Ashifa Kassam, “How remigration became a buzzword for global far right”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 07 Apr 2025:And of course, in July 1967 De Gaulle did come to Canada.
