Nouvelle Action Royaliste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nouvelle Action Royaliste (NAR, New Royalist Action), is a monarchist (Orléanist) political movement marked by a will to found a constitutional monarchy in France.
The movement has its roots in Action Française, the major French monarchist movement before World War II, which was re-formed by Maurice Pujo in 1947 around the movement Restauration Nationale. In 1971 a breakaway movement, the Nouvelle Action Française was established by Bertrand Renouvin. Soon, the name of this movement was changed to Nouvelle Action Royaliste; Renouvin is the group's president. The NAR publish in particular a historical review entitled Le Lys rouge and a political semi-monthly Royaliste.
The NAR leader, Bertrand Renouvin, who opposed the conservative right (UDF and RPR), appealed his supporters to vote for socialist François Mitterrand in both the 1981 and 1988 presidential elections.
The ideas of NAR are characterized by souverainism, anti-liberalism and anti-Americanism, and also adherence to the original form of Gaullism. The NAR appealed to vote against the European Constitution in the referendum of May 29, 2005.
