  Radical Party (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Radical Party (Parti Radical or Républicains Radicaux et Radicaux-Socialistes, Radical Republicans and Radical Socialists), was a major French political party of the early to mid 20th century, originally considered radical due to its anti-clericalism.
Radicalism was already a well-established movement in France before the Radical Party itself was established in 1901 in wake of the Dreyfus Affair.
After the defeat of France in 1940, the Radicals, like many of the other political parties, were discredited by their support for granting emergency powers to Marshal Pétain, despite the ambivalence of such senior radical leaders as Herriot, the President of the Chamber of Deputies.

The Radical Party was established, then, as a result of a democratization process that involved the development of the regional Masonic congresses, the professional and voluntary organizations and the positivistic leadership model.

The French Radicals of today, on the other hand, who have everything in common with the liberals and nothing in common with the peasant-terroristic Social Revolutionists and who, in contrast to the latter, base themselves upon an agrarian revolution effected some 150 years ago, are the representatives of French colonial oppression.

Just knowing De Gaulle's personality thinking of himself as being essentially "France" and not being the shy type, and knowing of his hero status in France,we can be fairly sure that he exerted great influence in or out of government.
