Immensely glad to see that De Gaulle is trending again in Europe! He is, bar none, the last European leader to truly get it.
One thing to bear in mind though, because I'm seeing the mistake being made all the time: Gaullisme is a mindset and a set of principles, but how De Gaulle applied that mindset and these principles in his context is very different from what he would do today were he still alive. The context has changed.
Which means you cannot take his actions or policies from the 1960s and say "see, he did that so we should do the same". For one thing, during De Gaulle's days - I know it seems unbelievable today - France was the world's 2nd economy (https://t.co/x0DVQWVfHL). Today Europe AS A WHOLE isn't even the world's 2nd economy.
For instance I see many people say that De Gaulle was against a supranational Europe, in favor of a "Europe of Nations". Absolutely true! But in the context of the time.
Would it still be the case today, in a world where France simply cannot realistically be a great power on its own anymore? And in a context where European integration, the Euro, etc. are fait-accomplis? Not so sure.
Key principles of Gaullisme are realism and ruthless pragmatism. For instance lets remind that he gave up Algeria - which represented roughly 80% of French territory at the time, was officially part of France itself (not legally a colony), and which was home to 1 million "pieds-noirs" who had overwhelmingly voted for him. All because he judged that the cost of holding it far exceeded any conceivable benefit.
Which really goes to show that the man had no sacred cows - not even the map of France itself - and was ready to ruthlessly sacrifice the past to secure the future. He didn't ask "what have we always done?" but "what must we do now?"
Applying the same logic today, would De Gaulle have created the euro? Probably not. Does that mean he would he destroy it now? Most likely not, the chaos would far outweigh any gain in sovereignty, which would likely prove illusory anyway. He'd probably ask instead: how do we turn this tool into a lever for true independence and power?
In other words, today, De Gaulle would doubtlessly tell Europeans: stop clinging to a sovereignty you no longer have, and start building one you actually could from the hand you're dealt.
He would, without an inch of a doubt, recognize that the Europe of today is part of the problem more than the solution, but - and here is the crucial nuance - he would *also* recognize that dismantling it and retreating to the national level alone would be just as bad, a recipe for irrelevance.
As such, his answer would probably be a Europe that is neither America's vassal nor a bureaucratic superstate, but some sort of confederation of sovereign nations acting in unison and powerful enough to say "no".
Not so dissimilar to his old "Europe of Nations" but with far deeper integration in practice because that's what the context demands and that's what we're starting with. Again, you play the hand you're dealt.
Heck even in his days, and this is a common misconception, De Gaulle wasn't anti-European. He is in fact the one who put large parts of today's Europe in motion. The Common Market and the Common Agricultural Policy? That's him. The vision of Europe as stretching "from the Atlantic to the Urals" (including, critically, Russia)? Him too (see https://t.co/gElYBZOnoE).
What he opposed wasn't Europe, but an American Europe (in other words, today's Europe). This is precisely why he vetoed British entry twice (he saw them as Washington's "Trojan horse") and pulled France out of NATO's integrated command. He wanted more Europe in one sense (a Europe that's a springboard for independent power) and less in another (a Europe that's a conveyor belt to vassalage).
Today's task is essentially the same - only much harder. De Gaulle was building from strength but today's Europeans must rebuild from the humiliating state they're in right now.
