Gaullism (French: Gaullisme) is a French political term of people who support the ideas and presidency of World War II French Resistance leader General Charles de Gaulle.
Gaullism cannot be seen within a political ideology, meaning it is not left or right. It is more of how the President of France should use their power.
"Neo-Gaullism" has been used to describe a movement after the death of de Gaulle in 1970 from people who are economic liberal than both traditional and social Gaullism.[1][2]
