Jacques Ploncard (1910-2005), also called Jacques Ploncard d'Assac, was a French writer and journalist and a far right activist. Following the fall of the Vichy regime, he escaped to Portugal's Estado Novo in 1945, where he counselled Oliveira Salazar. He introduced Yves Guérin-Sérac, one of the co-founder of the OAS, to the PIDE. After the April 1974 Carnation Revolution, he came back to France and collaborated to Present, a far right newspaper which maintains loose links with Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front. Jacques Ploncard also wrote Doctrines of nationalism.
