Jean-Claude Valla (16 May 1944 – 25 February 2010) was a French journalist and a prominent figure of the Nouvelle Droite.
[1] Between 1962 and 1965, he was the leader the Federation of Nationalist Students (FEN) branch in Lyon, serving also in two redaction committees: in the FEN magazine Cahiers Universitaires, and in Europe-Action, a white nationalist review founded in 1963 by Dominique Venner.
[5] Valla supported the pseudoscientific thesis of the colonization of Peru by the Vikings in his book La Civilisation des Incas, published in 1976.
[8] Responding to an article by Georges Charbonneau published in GRECE bulletin and declaring that the organization did not support Holocaust deniers, Valla wrote in 1991 that he denied GRECE's legitimacy to speak for all the Nouvelle Droite movement.
[9] Valla also stood up for Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson in an issue of Figaro-Magazine, and for the editor of negationist thesis Jean Plantin in the Nouvelle Droite magazine Éléments in 2002.
