The revelation of a bugging scandal which implicated Balladur also contributed to a drop in his popularity among voters. However, from the position of an outsider, Chirac criticized Balladur as representing "dominant ideas", and the difference between the two decreased quickly. In the polls, he led Chirac by almost 20 points. When he announced his candidacy, four months before the election, he was considered the favourite. He went back on his promise to Chirac and entered the campaign. However, a number of right-wing politicians advised Balladur to run for the presidency in 1995. When he became Prime Minister, Balladur had promised Chirac that he would not enter the 1995 presidential election, and that he would support Chirac's candidacy. Despite corruption affairs affecting some of his ministers, who he forced to resign (thus lending his name to the so-called " Balladur jurisprudence"), he became very popular and had the support of influential media. Conveying the image of a quiet conservative, he did not question the wealth tax (reestablished by the Socialists in 1988). If he failed to impose his project of minimum income for youth, he led a moderate liberal policy in economy. He was faced with a difficult economic situation, but he did not want to make the political errors of the previous cohabitation government. When the RPR/ UDF coalition won the 1993 legislative election, Chirac declined to become Prime Minister again in a second "cohabitation" with President Mitterrand, and Balladur became Prime Minister. After Chirac's defeat at the 1988 presidential election, part of the RPR held him responsible of the abandonment of Gaullist doctrine, but he kept the confidence of Chirac. He took a major part in the adoption of liberal and pro-European policies by Chirac and the RPR. As Minister of Economy and Finance, he sold off a large number of public companies and abolished the wealth tax.īalladur appeared as an unofficial deputy Prime Minister in the cabinet led by Chirac. A member of the Neo-Gaullist Rally for the Republic (RPR) party, he was the theoretician behind the " cohabitation government" from 1986 to 1988, explaining that if the right won the legislative election, it could govern with Chirac as prime minister without Socialist Party President François Mitterrand's resignation. He returned to politics in the 1980s as a supporter of Jacques Chirac. After Pompidou's election as President of France in 1969, Balladur was appointed under-secretary general of the presidency then secretary general from 1973 to Pompidou's death in 1974. In 1957, Balladur married Marie-Josèphe Delacour, with whom he had four sons.īalladur started his political career in 1964 as an advisor to Prime Minister Georges Pompidou.
