<br/><br/> Traumatized by the May 1968 crisis that some Gaullists saw as an organized and secret plan of insurrection, they organized much of their activism and theoretical planning around this subversive threat. These law and order Gaullists, backed by the President’s advisor Jacques Foccart, monitored alerts and prepared counterattacks with associations and individuals set up in networks. They wielded some influence over the Gaullist party, the government, Parliament and the media, acting as a lobby to further, more or less effectively, repression. Although these networks were too disparate to be considered a real political wing, they did constitute within the Gaullism of 1968 an original current different from classic anti-Communism of the RPF ( Rassemblement du Peuple Français).
