My story

Portrait of Thaïs d’Escufon

Who am I?

My name is Thaïs d’Escufon. I first became involved as a grassroots activist with Génération Identitaire while studying in Toulouse. Today, I am a political content creator with more than 600,000 followers across X, TikTok and YouTube. This is my story.

Place du Capitole in Toulouse, where my story began
The beginning · Toulouse

From everyday life to activism.

Born in Toulouse in 1999, I grew up in Haute-Garonne before studying foreign languages at Toulouse–Jean Jaurès University, better known by its notorious name, ‘Le Mirail’, a university that became known in France for its particularly high number of communist strikes and blockades.

An odd mix, considering that the Mirail district was one of the hubs for people leaving France to join jihadist groups. Quite an atmosphere.

Surrounded by kebab shops or activists wearing keffiyehs, often the only white person in the metro carriage, I wanted to meet young people who were like me and shared my ideas.

That is where I became deeply involved in the Génération Identitaire youth movement, before becoming its spokesperson until it was dissolved in 2021.

The banner on the rooftops.

That day, I took part in a major action at Place de la République with other activists. We unfurled an enormous banner across the Paris rooftops, facing 30,000 furious Black Lives Matter protesters. We caused such an uproar that we drew media attention away from their cause and brought the issue of anti-white racism onto numerous television programmes.

The video I filmed there would go on to reach more than 3 million views.

Then everything happened very quickly: interviews and television appearances. I gained recognition beyond activist circles. I had officially become ‘Thaïs d’Escufon’.

Legal proceedings and their aftermath.

Because of my convictions, my political involvement has been marked by numerous legal proceedings.

For an action at the offices of the pro-immigration NGO SOS Méditerranée in 2018, the Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal gave me an eight-month suspended prison sentence and banned me from Marseille for three years. I am still challenging that decision before the Court of Cassation.

For taking part in the DEFEND EUROPE action in the Pyrenees to highlight the porosity of our borders, I was convicted of public insult at first instance in 2021, then acquitted on appeal.

In 2021, I was attacked in my home by a Tunisian migrant who held me captive for 30 minutes and attempted to rape me. I narrowly escaped unharmed.

But in 2023, while recounting my experience on BFMTV, I said: ‘The main danger to women in France comes from African, Black and Arab immigrant men.’

For denouncing what I maintain is supported by numerous statistics, and despite my own trauma, I was prosecuted for ‘public insult on the grounds of race’. The prosecutor requested four months in prison.

I then called on the solidarity of my many supporters to draw attention to the case. Under media scrutiny, I was ultimately sentenced to a €1,000 fine. I have appealed and am seeking a full acquittal because I believe I should not be convicted for telling the truth.

Today · Staying connected

Continuing to speak out.

Since Génération Identitaire was dissolved in 2021, I have focused on creating political content, particularly on my YouTube channel.

Over the years, I have faced many obstacles: several of my accounts on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok have been censored. Despite everything, I am not giving up. Time and again, I start rebuilding from scratch.

Today, despite still being censored by Meta and Facebook under the label ‘terrorist organisation’ — no less — I reach more than 600,000 people across Twitter, TikTok, YouTube and Telegram.

But I no longer want to risk losing my connection with you, or depend on platforms where bans can happen unpredictably. With your support, I can continue my work without being intimidated.
