Overview
- Renaud Camus, known for his controversial 'Great Replacement' theory, has been barred from entering the UK after his Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) was denied by the Home Office.
- The UK government cited concerns that Camus' presence would not be conducive to the public good but declined to provide public comment on the decision.
- The ban prevents Camus from attending events organized by the Homeland Party and the Oxford Union, where he was scheduled to speak on immigration and demographic issues.
- Camus announced the ban on X, stating his intention to apply for a visa, as the ETA rejection does not preclude future visa approval.
- Vauban Books, his English-language publisher, criticized the decision as a betrayal of liberal democratic principles and defended Camus' work as a significant voice in contemporary discourse.
