Encyclopedia
Bertrand Renouvin, born 15 June 1943 (age 68) in Paris
, is the founder and president of French
political movement Nouvelle Action Royaliste
, a monarchist group which aims at restoring constitutional monarchy in France. One may say his orientation is now close to the original Gaullism
which originated from the Resistance
movement. On the other hand, Renouvin's political positions have been close to the (centre-)left of the political spectrum, hence his support for François Mitterrand
.
Renouvin regularly publishes editorials in "Royalist", the semi-monthly of his movement, in which Renouvin professes anti-liberal
doctrines.
Bertrand Renouvin was a candidate in presidential election 1974, obtaining 0.14% of votes in the first round.
In the presidential elections 1981
and 1988
, he supported François Mitterrand, candidate of French Socialist Party.
As a remarkable performer and serious polemist, he is recognized never not to yield to the facility, and his wide-range knowledge of politics and economy makes him an appreciated lecturer. His many works present our society as sick and propose remedies which he often includes in his editorials in the "Royalist".
Very close to the Count of Paris, Renouvin is very listened of the king Simeon II of Bulgaria
and his souverainist
Gaullism
is said to have nothing fortuitous but is the result of more than thirty years of public life, at the economic and social council and the leadership of his neo-royalist movement.
At the time of the last presidential elections (2002), Renouvin chose to support the candidature of Jean-Pierre Chevènement
, only souverainist
