Far right, extreme right, ultra-right, radical right, or hard right are terms used to discuss the relative position a group or person occupies within a political spectrum. ...

Mon cher Mustapha,

Avec la grâce d’Allah tout puissant, nous sommes maîtres de Paris. Je me demande pourquoi tu hésites à venir nous rejoindre.

A ton arrivée, tu te feras inscrire à la préfecture comme travailleur clandestin qui veut régulariser sa situation. Sois sans crainte, on ne te donnera pas de travail mais une carte qui te permettra d’avoir tous les avantages d’un travailleur.

Le mieux est de venir avec les enfants car les allocations familiales sont très intéressantes. Une seule de tes femmes sera considérée comme légitime, les autres seront inscrites comme mère célibataire ayant charge de famille et toucheront environ trois mille francs tous les mois.

La seule chose que tu auras à faire, c’est d’aller pointer au chômage, c’est un peu long car il y a beaucoup de monde et plein d’étrangers ( les Dupont, les Durand, etc… ) qu’il faut quand même laisser passer à leur tour. Mais, lorsque nous serons effectivement au pouvoir, nous créerons des guichets pour eux. En attendant, comme ce sont les français qui paient, il faut se montrer patient.

Les français vénèrent les Saints. Le plus grand est le Saint-dicat. Il est bon, fort et puissant et nous protège. Si as oublié de pointer ou si tu as besoin de quelque chose et que tu n’arrives pas à l’obtenir, tu t’adresses à ton Saint-Dicat et il l’obtient aussitôt.

Nous espérons obtenir bientôt le droit de vote. Beaucoup de gens de gauche nous l’ont promis. Grâce à notre nombre, c’est bientôt nous qui ferons la loi.

Nous avons fichu les français hors d’Algérie, nous finirons par les flanquer hors de France.

Ton frère Abdelkader.

which translates as

My dear Mustapha,

With the grace of the all-powerful Allah, we are the masters of Paris. I ask myself why you hesitate to join us here.

On your arrival, you should register at the prefecture as a clandestine worker who wants to legitimize his situation. Don't worry, they will not give you work, but a card which gives you all the advantages of a worker.

The best thing is to come with children for the family allowances are very interesting. Only one of your wives will be considered legitimate - the others will be classed as single mothers in charge of a family and can claim 3000 francs per month.

The only thing you will have to do is to join the dole queue, it is quite long for there are many people and it is full of foreigners (the Duponts, the Durands, etc… ) whom it is necessary nevertheless to let pass in their turn. But, when we will be effectively in power, we will create counters for them. While waiting, as they are French who pays, it is necessary to be patient.

The French venerate saints. The greatest is the Saint-Dicat (Syndicate). He is good, strong and powerful and protects us. If you have forgotten to claim dole or need somthing and haven't got it, your Saint-Dicat will get it for you right away.

We are about to get the right to vote. Many people on the left promised us this. Thanks to our numbers, we will soon be able to make the law.

We have driven the French from Algeria, now we will flank them out of France.

Your brother Abdelkader.

These letters were instrumental in the National Front victory in the 1983 local council elections in Dreux. 1983 (MCMLXXXIII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
