[3][nb 1] Alongside fellow former steering committee members Yves Lemaignen, Jean Toublanc, and Georges-Paul Wagner, they established the Nouvelle Action française;[1] it broke with the ties to French far-right figure Charles Maurras that Action Française had, a decision that was praised by the then Orléanist throne contender Henri, Count of Paris.

[1] In November 1989, the NAR joined the 89 pour l'égalité movement, which campaigned to get voting rights for immigrants and garnered over 500,000 signatures (512,000),[6][8] alongside SOS Racisme.

The NAR's declared goal is to "promote the restoration of a popular monarchy embodied by the Count of Paris",[6] and argues that the Constitution of the Fifth Republic is "entirely monarchical in inspiration".

[5] The ideas of the NAR, which is a member of the International Monarchist Conference, are characterized by souverainism,[12] anti-neoliberalism (they are economically Keynesian), and anti-Atlanticism (being close to the left-wing Gaullists).

[1] The NAR's royalism is thus seen to be "compatible with the spirit of 1789, with the rule of law and with the idea of the common good, which claims to be the continuation of the centuries-old 'party of politicians'".
