Gaullism

You believe in achieving a strong and independent France through a centralized government and national unity.

Gaullism is a political ideology named after Charles de Gaulle, the French general and statesman who played a prominent role in the French Resistance during World War II and later served as President of France. Gaullism emphasizes national sovereignty, independence, and the strength of the state.

The ideology emerged in the mid-20th century and was shaped by de Gaulle's belief in a strong executive branch, a centralized government, and a focus on the interests of the nation above all else. Gaullists advocate for a powerful presidency that can act decisively in times of crisis…   and defend the country's interests on the international stage.

Gaullism also promotes a sense of national unity and pride, often emphasizing France's historical and cultural heritage. It rejects both communism and capitalism, instead advocating for a "third way" that combines elements of both systems while maintaining a strong state role in the economy.

While Gaullism originated in France, its influence has extended beyond the country's borders, particularly in former French colonies and other countries where leaders have sought to emulate de Gaulle's model of strong leadership and national sovereignty. The ideology continues to shape political debates and policies in various countries, reflecting its enduring legacy and relevance in the modern world.
