Michel Houellebecq—one of France’s preeminent writers known mainly for his novels, poems, and essays, but who is also an occasional actor, filmmaker, singer, and rapper—has said that the Great Replacement, a term used to describe the gradual replacement of people native to France by foreign populations, is a fact.
Houellebecq’s statements, published by the Paris-based newspaper Le Figaro on Tuesday, November 29th, came during a far-reaching discussion with the highly-prolific French philosopher and author Michel Onfray, where the two explored highly contentious, emotionally charged topics like religion, euthanasia, migration, demographics, and the European Union, among others, Valeurs Actualles reports.
“The Great Replacement, I was shocked it is called a theory. It is not a theory, it is a fact,” Houellebecq began. “When it comes to immigration, nobody controls anything—that is the whole problem. Europe will be swept away by this cataclysm.”
