Gaullism

Gaullism is a political ideology rooted in the ideas of Charles de Gaulle, emphasizing strong national independence, sovereignty, and a balanced government that combines strong leadership with social justice. It advocates for an assertive France capable of acting independently on the global stage, resilient national institutions, and a mixed economy that supports social welfare. Gaullism also stresses pride in national identity and history, aiming to unify the country while maintaining sovereignty against external influences. It has shaped both conservative and progressive policies in France, promoting a sense of patriotism and strategic autonomy.
