French political party
Renaissance (RE ) is a political party in France that is typically described as liberal and centrist [ 28] or centre-right .[ 29] The party was originally known as En Marche ! (EM )[ a] [ 30] and later La République En Marche ! (transl. The Republic on the Move ,[ 31] [ 32] [ 33] LREM , LaREM or REM ), before adopting its current name in September 2022.[ 34] RE is the leading force of the centrist Ensemble coalition, coalesced around Emmanuel Macron 's original presidential majority .
The party was established on 6 April 2016 by Macron, a former Minister of the Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs , who was later elected president in the 2017 presidential election with 66.1% of the second-round vote. Subsequently, the party ran candidates in the 2017 legislative election ,[ 35] including dissidents from the Socialist Party (PS) and the Republicans (LR), as well as minor parties, winning an absolute majority in the National Assembly . Macron was re-elected in the 2022 presidential election , but the party lost its absolute majority in the 2022 legislative election .
Macron conceived RE as a progressive movement, uniting both left and right .[ 36] RE supports pro-Europeanism [ 37] [ 36] [ 38] and globalization and wants to "modernise and moralise" French politics.[ 39] [ 40] [ 41] The party has accepted members from other political parties at a higher rate than other parties in France,[ 37] [ 42] [ 43] and does not impose any fees on members who want to join.[ 44] The party has been a founding member of Renew Europe , the political group of the European Parliament representing liberals and centrists, since June 2019.[ 25]
