Bled was also involved as a Gaullist politician . From 1973 to 1984 he was chairman of the Cercles Universitaires d'Etudes et de Recherches Gaulliennes . For a long time he was considered a supporter of Jacques Chirac until he campaigned for European unification . In 1998, Bled founded the États Généraux de la Souveraineté Nationale (" General Estates of National Sovereignty"), which in 1999 supported the Rassemblement pour la France et l'indépendance de l'Europe (RPF). In 2001 he founded the Entente Souverainiste together with the RPF European Parliamentarian Paul-Marie Coûteaux . This in turn merged in 2003 in the Rassemblement pour l'indépendance et la souveraineté de la France (RIF), a moderately conservative association that criticizes the European unification process, advocates the preservation of national sovereignty and opposes Turkey joining the EU . Bled headed the RIF until 2008, after which he was honorary chairman.
