Compromis nationaliste

The nationalist compromise is a concept developed by Charles Maurras, referring to a tactical and situational alliance with different currents on specific issues.

In this context, he supported two types of compromises:[1] [...] one outside the national camp, with conservative republicans, which enabled Léon Daudet to be elected to the Chamber in 1919 with votes from the National Bloc; the other within nationalist factions, which differed on the form of the state, religious issues, and economic matters.According to Michel Hubault, leader of Chrétienté-Solidarité, the nationalist compromise is based on three conditions: “honesty between parties; agreement on the essentials, namely the safeguarding of the French nation; and, regardless of individual religious convictions, acknowledgment of the essential role Catholicism played in building French civilization”.

[1] Pierre Lafarge noted that Charles Maurras called for an intellectual nationalist compromise in the conclusion of The Future of the Intelligentsia, published in 1905.

[5][6] The revolutionary nationalist strategy aimed to create a unified electoral movement capable of mainstreaming and broadening the dissemination of ideas "beyond the initial fringe circles".

[7] In 2011, Louis Aliot, appointed Secretary General of the FN in 2005, offered his own interpretation: “The nationalist compromise doesn’t concern the Nazis; it’s about the program”.
