Occident was a French far-right militant group, active in France between 1964 and 1968 and considered the "main activist group on the extreme right in the 1960s".^[1] Occident activists were known for their "commando" actions against various "enemy" targets, such as left-wing students, PCF offices, immigrant associations, and anti-colonialists.^[1] A number of former Occident members later became prominent figures in mainstream right-wing parties; some even obtained ministerial positions.^[2] The movement was banned by the French authorities in October 1968, following violent confrontations with left-wing groups during the May 1968 events.^[3]
