Gaullism is the quintessential party of French nationalism, founded by General de Gaulle in 1945; for Nouredine it was a natural fit.
With its emphasis on individualism, liberal capitalism, the family as the main social unit in society, and the idea that the individual (not the State) is responsible for his or her destiny, Gaullism appears a natural expression for Nouredine's idea of Islam.
Nouredine's father is an Imam in a neighborhood mosque: his mother, who died last year of cancer, became an unapologetic feminist and militant socialist, but was proud that Nouredine kept his faith, even if his political convictions took him towards French nationalism and economic liberalism.

The Stalinists began to despair of the survival of Gaullism, since they had been unable to save it up till then, and because Gaullism seemed to have lost the elasticity essential to its survival.

But the orgy of self-recrimination, as well as the unprecedented level of voter disenchantment, suggests that Gaullism itself may be a spent force in French political life.
Historically, Gaullism is rooted in the General's wartime role: his escape to London in 1940, his leadership of the Resistance, his success at forcing the Allies to include France among the four victorious powers.
His most concrete political legacy is the constitution of the Fifth Republic, based on a virtually omnipotent President drawing his legitimacy from direct popular election.

RFE/RL's Paris correspondent Joel Blocker spoke with a French expert on Chirac and Gaullism to explore what remains of the general's legacy in France.
Collovald says that De Gaulle's model of strong presidential leadership and defense of French interests in the international arena -- including, when necessary, opposition to the United States -- has been followed by all his successors, whatever their political orientation.
That, too, serves to show how irrelevant much of Gaullism has become today: No one was ever more opposed to European integration than Charles de Gaulle, whose dream was of French, not continental, glory.

Thirty-four years after the Man's Fate's author's farewell to de Gaulle, Michèle Alliot-Marie doesn't claim to take up alone the torch of a forgotten gaullism.
