Fredriksen co-edited
Notre Europe, which was the mouthpiece of the
Revolutionary Nationalist Groups (GNR), a
Third Position group headed by
François Duprat, who later joined the
National Front (FN). He also stood as a candidate for the
National Front (FN) at a time when the party sought out alliances with more radical groups due to the impact on their support that the
Parti des forces nouvelles (PFN) was having. Fredriksen was a strong critic of the PFN, arguing that they were just a more militant version of mainstream
Gaullism. As such Fredriksen was the FN candidate in
Seine-Saint-Denis in the
1978 election where his 1.4% vote share was actually one of the higher results for the far right in an election in which they failed to prosper. Fredriksen left the FN after the murder of
François Duprat, feeling that
Jean-Marie Le Pen was too 'soft' for his liking. Fredriksen's controversial opinions made him a target for direct attacks more than once. On 19 September 1980 Fredriksen and a group of his supporters were attacked at the
Paris palace of justice by a group of people claiming to represent the
Jewish Defense Organization. Fredriksen suffered a further attack on 12 October that year and had to be treated in hospital. In 1981, Frederiksen was sentenced to 18 months in prison, with 12 months suspended, plus 33,000 Francs in fines, for racist remarks and pro-Nazi sentiments in
Notre Europe. He died on 25 August 2011. ==Bibliography==
