Groupe Union Droit
Groupe Union Droit or Groupe Union Défense, better known as GUD, is the name of a succession of violent French far-right student political groups. Regularly dissolved, it keeps surfacing under altered names.
It was founded by Gérard Longuet and Alain Robert, and other former members of Occident.
This group is barely existent outside of University Paris II Panthéon-Assas, a renowned Law school in Paris. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, members of the GUD came into association with UNI, a right-wing student union [1][2], which has since severed the ties with the extremists.
GUD has in the past engaged in various criminal activities, ranging from defacing property with slogans to beating political opponents with baseball bats (see UNEF ). Members of GUD joined Unité Radicale in 1998.
