The Fifth Republic and Political Parties
Portelli, Hugues
The Fifth Republic and Political Parties - 2008.
91
From the beginning, the relationships between the Fifth Republic and political parties have been characterized by a deep ambivalence: the new regime was built by General de Gaulle to get rid of the parties and reduce them to a secondary role. However, the adaptation of the parties to the presidential system — and the choice of this system in periods of cohabitation — has led to a consolidation of the regime and of its Gaullist understanding at the expense of a close interweaving between parties and the higher reaches of government.
