Gaullism is a French political movement with a diffuse ideology. Although it has since developed into a right-wing movement, it contains elements drawn across the political spectrum, from the Action Francaise to the SFIO. It seeks to realize the aims of Charles de Gaulle, particularly achieving unity among the French people through a patriotic and independent foreign policy. In 1947, De Gaulle founded the Rally of the French People, which he hoped would gather enough popular support for his constitutional idea of a strong presidency. By 1952, it was clear that the RPF had failed, whereupon it was disbanded and De Gaulle retired. Upon his return to office in 1958, De Gaulle founded the Union for the New Republic, whose leader Georges Pompidou became Prime Minister in 1962 in a coalition government with Valery Giscard d'Estaing. Renamed the Union of Democrats for the Fifth Republic in 1968, the movement was relaunched by Jacques Chirac as the Rally for the Republic in 1976. The Gaullists held the major offices of power until 1974, when Giscard d'Estaing became President, though he appointed Chirac as Prime Minister. They were forced into opposition in 1981, but helped form the government in 1984-96, and continued to do so from 1993. In 1995, the Gaullists recaptured the presidency through Chirac.
