 The Council is intended to bring together qualified French and European personalities who aspire to "work for the defence of European civilization"—to oppose the Great Replacement, immigration to Europe, and, more generally, to defeat "replacist totalitarianism", a concept theorized by Renaud Camus.Membership in the Council is strictly enlarged by co-option.Several high-ranking European officials have taken part, such as former President of the Czech Republic Václav Klaus, former members of the European Parliament Jean-Yves Le Gallou and Paul-Marie Coûteaux, current member of the European Parliament Janice Atkinson, former representative to the National Assembly of France Christian Vanneste, Belgian member of parliament Filip Dewinter, or Africanist historian Bernard Lugan.
