Tixier-Vignancour Committees

After the election, in which Tixier-Vignancour secured 5.2% of the vote, the Comités TV transformed into the "Alliance républicaine pour les libertés et le progrès" (ARLP).

[1] From its inception, former deputy Jean-Marie Le Pen served as secretary general of the Comités TV and as campaign director for Tixier-Vignancour's 1965 presidential bid.

Other former parliamentarians (Poujadists, members of the CNIP, and disillusioned Gaullists) joined the campaign, including Philippe Marçais, Jean-Robert Thomazo, Jean-Baptiste Biaggi, Alain de Lacoste-Lareymondie, and Jean Dides.

Strongly anti-Gaullist due to de Gaulle's Algerian policy, Tixier-Vignancour urged his supporters to vote for François Mitterrand, the left-wing candidate, in the second round.

[6] Prominent figures like Roger Holeindre, François Brigneau, and Dominique Venner also left, while members of Europe-Action formed the Nationalist Movement for Progress (MNP).
