^ A: The party has also been described as centre-left,[7] centre-right,[14] right-wing,[19] or a big tent/catch-all party.[23]

Renaissance is a liberal and centrist political party in France.[24][25][26] The party was originally known as En Marche ![c][27] and later La République En Marche ![d] (transl. The Republic on the Move),[28][29][30] before adopting its current name in September 2022.[31] 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,[32] 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.[33] RE supports pro-Europeanism,[34][33][35] accepts globalization and wants to "modernise and moralise" French politics.[36][37][38] The party has accepted members from other political parties at a higher rate than other parties in France,[34][39][40] and does not impose any fees on members who want to join.[41] The party has been a founding member of Renew Europe, the political group of the European Parliament representing liberals and centrists, since June 2019.[3]
