Debout la France: Data Analysis, Current Polls, and Policy Positions

The party's foundation is Gaullism, which centers on a strong, independent nation and an effective state. DLF views France not as part of a supranational structure, but as a sovereign entity that must steer its own destiny. Its worldview is shaped by patriotism and the conviction that national identity and social cohesion can only be preserved by returning to republican values and clearly demarcating itself from external influence – be it from Brussels or global markets.

The agenda focuses on "Intelligent Protectionism" and the restoration of national borders. DLF advocates for withdrawal from NATO's integrated command and a radical renegotiation of EU treaties, aiming for a Europe of nation-states. Its target audience primarily includes value-conservative citizens, sovereignists, and the working middle class who seek to combine criticism of globalization with a focus on regulatory policy. Key priorities also include a restrictive migration policy, the promotion of French businesses, and strengthening internal security and public services.

Strategically, DLF positions itself as the "independent voice" on the right of the political spectrum, aiming to bridge the gap between moderate conservatives and national-populist forces. It often acts as a corrective against European federalism, while formally maintaining distance from extremist revolutionary fantasies by explicitly invoking the institutions of the Fifth Republic. Nevertheless, its strict rejection of supranational jurisdiction creates tensions with the established pro-European consensus within the French state.
