In 1981 he was one of the founders of the Mouvement Initiative et Liberté , of which he was the first president. This continued the tradition of the Service d'action civique , an association of Gaullists to mobilize against political opponents, which had been dissolved by François Mitterrand . The MIL strongly criticized the economic and social reforms of the Mitterrand government and publicly advocated a political U-turn. Rougeot remained president of the movement until 1986, when he was replaced by André Decocq . In the 1980s he also wrote articles for Contrepoint magazine , published by the right-wing Club de l'Horloge .
