Renouveau français
From Metapedia
Renouveau français (litterally "French renewal") is a French nationalist political party affiliated to the European National Front. Founded in November 2005, the group has been associated with the anti-capitalist rhetoric of Strasserism by R. Griffin.
Renouveau français politically defines itself as nationalist, catholic and "anti-revolutionary" — in this case, opposed to the principles of the French Revolution of 1789. Nevertheless, the organisation has a tricolour logo[1] and claims to defend the "French nation"[2]

[edit] Organisation
Renouveau français describes itself as a "structure for reflexion, formation and information, outside electoralist framework, independant from all political formations and from all cleavages".
Renouveau français is coordinated by a directoral comitee and has regional branches in Île-de-France, Bretagne, Anjou, Normandy, Vendée and Alsace[3][4]. They claim several hundreds members and "thousands" of sympathisers.
[edit] Doctrine
Renouveau français describes itself as "nationalist", defining the notion as "defence of vital interests of France and the French, without any hatred".
Renouveau français is anti-republican, and denounces freemasonry and "lobbys", as well as marxism, socialism and democracy. The organisation claims heirdom of far-right personalities as Charles Maurras, Édouard Drumont, Maurice Barrès, Jacques Ploncard d'Assac and Henry Coston[5]. Their site hosts editorials from former members of the OAS [6]
[edit] Electoral stance
Renouveau français claims to be "off the left/right cleavage", a common claim of the French far-right. Indeed, in 2007, Renouveau français encouraged its sympathisers to vote for "no other candidate than Jean-Marie Le Pen"[7], describing him as "only credible representant of the patriotic trend". Still, Renouveau français warned against the "democratic system", and the "fundamentally mason, laic and cosmopolit Republic"[7].
