Savy was a physician[2] who also wrote several books about economic freedom.[2] He joined the Rally for the Republic, a center-right political party.[3] He founded Clubs Avenir et Liberté, a center-right political organization, in 1981.[3][4] The organization held meetings with center-right politicians like Alain Madelin, Charles Pasqua and Alain Juppé, and Jean-Marie Le Pen, the leading of the National Front.[4]

Meanwhile, Savy served as a member of the National Assembly from 1986 to 1988, representing Nièvre.[1] He admitted that he preferred winning with the support of the National Front than losing without it, adding both parties shared similar views.[4]
