The Democratic Movement (French: Mouvement démocrate, pronounced [muv.mɑ̃ de.mɔ.kʁat]; MoDem, [mɔ.dɛm]) is a centre[2][3][4][5] to centre-right[6][7] political party in France, whose main ideological trends are liberalism[8] and Christian democracy,[8] and that is characterised by a strong pro-Europeanist stance.[8] MoDem was established by François Bayrou to succeed the Union for French Democracy (UDF) and contest the 2007 legislative election, after his strong showing in the 2007 presidential election.[9] Initially named the Democratic Party (Parti démocrate), the party was renamed "Democratic Movement",[10] because there was already a small Democratic Party in France.[11]
MoDem secured an agreement with La République En Marche! (LRM) — later Renaissance (RE) — in the 2017 legislative election after Bayrou had endorsed the candidacy of Emmanuel Macron in February. The two parties have since been in alliance, as of late named Ensemble.
