The Student Cockade (fr|Cocarde étudiante) is a far-right[1] souverainist French student union, founded in 2015 at the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas in France.[2] It claims to have a presence at 22 different universities across France.[3]
The Student Cockade was founded on 6 May 2015 in the Panthéon-Assas University as a split of the already existing right-wing student union Union nationale inter-universitaire (UNI). It was founded as a way to unite the different youth wings of the right-wing political parties in France (mostly, Droite Populaire, Front national, Debout la France, Parti chrétien-démocrate).[4]
During the year 2018 the Student Cockade was made famous by its fierce and sometimes violent opposition to university blocus.[5]
During the student elections of 2019 at the University of Nanterre, fighting broke out between a group of Student Cockade members and left wing antifascists. The Student Cockade won multiple seats after the incident.[6]
During the 2020 student elections in France, on numerous instances, the Student Cockade was opposed by left wing student groups and antifascist movements,[7] but the Student Cockade managed to win multiple seats in Sorbonne, Assas, Nanterre and other universities.[8]
