History
Initially serving as the internal bulletin of GRECE, an ethno-nationalist think tank led by Alain de Benoist, the magazine began its public circulation in September 1973 as the general public showcase of the organization.[1][2] Michel Marmin became its first president, followed by Pierre Vial in 1983, then by Jean-Claude Bardet. In 1991, Charles Champetier, then aged 24, became the magazine's president.[3][4]
Since 2017, the web television TV Libertés has been broadcasting Le Plus d'Élements, a talk show hosted by Olivier François in collaboration with Éléments.[5][6]
Audience
In the early 1990s, Éléments had around 5,000 subscribers, mainly from the well-educated elites, along with an audience of university students. A 1993 poll revealed that 35 per cent of the magazine's subscribers were politically close to the Front National.[7]
According to scholar Tamir Bar-On, "Éléments generally appeals to GRECE's younger, more militant audience. Éléments might also be more populist and nationalist than the more aristocratic Nouvelle École", another magazine launched by GRECE in 1968.[7]
