Identitarian Movement

The Identitarian Movement is a political and cultural ideology that emphasizes protecting and preserving a particular group's identity, often focusing on ethnicity, culture, or heritage. It advocates for the idea that society should prioritize the interests and traditions of its native or majority population while resisting multicultural influences and immigration they perceive as a threat to their cultural coherence. Originating in Europe, it combines elements of nationalism and cultural preservation, but has been criticized for promoting exclusion and xenophobia. Its supporters view it as defending cultural integrity, while opponents see it as divisive and detrimental to social cohesion.
