Jean-Gilles Malliarakis

Jean-Gilles Malliarakis (born 22 June 1944 in Paris) is a Greek-French far-right politician and writer. He is the son of noted painter 'Mayo' (Antoine Malliarakis) and was educated at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris.

A descendant of Greek Admiral arc Malliarakis, Jean-Gilles Malliarakis expressed far-right views from an early age, being a supporter of Jeune Nation whilst still a schoolboy. However he first came to attention in the Jeunes indépendants de Paris, the Parisian arm of the National Centre of Independents and Peasants where in the 1950s members included Jean-Marie Le Pen and the self-described Nazi Charles Luca. He then joined the likes of François Duprat and Pierre Vial as part of a new generation of extreme nationalists who were the first of their kind to have no affinity with Vichy France in Jeune Nation. Later he became an activist in Pierre Sidos' group Occident and was a regular writer for their newspaper Le Soleil. However an internal dispute saw him expelled from the group in November 1967. Other affiliations around this tie included to his own groups, the Cercle Capitaine Moreau, an anti-Zionist group he established in 1966, l'Action Nationaliste, which he also established in 1969 to oppose foreign influence in France, and Roger Holeindre's Jeunesses Patriotes et Sociales, which he joined in 1968. Finally from 1969 to 1972 he was a member of the Ordre Nouveau and was a member of their political bureau. During this time Malliarakis was arrested several times and served a number of short prison sentences for violent agitation.
