After the poor results of the election, Chirac broke with Garaud and Juillet. He appointed Yvan Blot, an intellectual who would later join the National Front, as director of his campaigns for the 1979 European election. Hospitalised in Cochin hospital after a crash, he declared that 'as always about the drooping of France, the pro-foreign party acts with its peaceable and reassuring voice'. In 1978, he attacked the pro-European policy of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (VGE), and made a nationalist turn with the December 1978 Call of Cochin, initiated by his counsellors Marie-France Garaud and Pierre Juillet, which had first been called by Pompidou. Chirac's first tenure as prime minister was also an arguably progressive one, with improvements in both the minimum wage and the social welfare system carried out during the course of his premiership. He proceeded to build up his political base among France's several conservative parties, with a goal of reconstituting the Gaullist UDR into a Neo-Gaullist group, the Rally for the Republic (RPR). Citing Giscard's unwillingness to give him authority, Chirac resigned as Prime Minister in 1976. They advocated a clash with Giscard d'Estaing because they thought his policy bewildered the conservative electorate.

These two organised the campaign against Chaban-Delmas in 1974. Chirac was advised by Pierre Juillet and Marie-France Garaud, two former advisers of Pompidou. Īs prime minister, Chirac quickly set about persuading the Gaullists that, despite the social reforms proposed by President Giscard, the basic tenets of Gaullism, such as national and European independence, would be retained. Then, Chirac's economic policies, based on dirigisme, allowing for state-directed investment, stood in opposition to the laissez-faire policies of the United Kingdom under the ministries of Margaret Thatcher and John Major, which Chirac famously described as 'Anglo-Saxonultraliberalism'.

He argued for more socially responsible economic policies, and was elected President in the 1995 presidential election with 52.6% of the vote in the second round, beating Socialist Lionel Jospin, after campaigning on a platform of healing the 'social rift' ( fracture sociale). After pursuing these policies in his second term as Prime Minister, he changed his views. Chirac's internal policies initially included lower tax rates, the removal of price controls, strong punishment for crime and terrorism, and business privatisation. Chirac occupied various senior positions, including Minister of Agriculture and Minister of the Interior. Minister of Agriculture and Rural DevelopmentĪfter completing his degree at Sciences Po, a term at Harvard University, and the École nationale d'administration, Chirac began his career as a high-level civil servant, and entered politics shortly after.
