- Rally for the Republic (RPR)
-
or Gaullists
Former French political party.
It was founded by Jacques Chirac in 1976 as the successor to the various Gaullist coalitions that dominated the political life of the
Fifth Republic under Charles de Gaulle and Georges Pompidou. The party had its antecedents in the group Rally of the French People, organized by de Gaulle in 1947. It evolved into the Union for the New Republic (1958–62) and then the Union of Democrats for the New Republic (1968–76) before assuming the name Rally for the Republic. In 2002 the party merged with the Liberal Democratic party and much of the Union for the French Democracy to form the Union for a Popular Movement.
