^ A: The party has also been described as a big tent/catch-all party. |
Renaissance is a liberal and centrist political party in France.[4][5][6] The party was originally known as En Marche ![c][7] and later La République En Marche ![d] (transl. The Republic on the Move),[8][9][10] before adopting its current name in September 2022.[11] RE is the leading force of the centrist to centre-right[12][13][14] 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,[15] 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.[16] RE supports pro-Europeanism,[17][16][18] accepts globalization and wants to "modernise and moralise" French politics.[19][20][21] The party has accepted members from other political parties at a higher rate than other parties in France,[17][22][23] and does not impose any fees on members who want to join.[24] 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]

Le premier tour de la présidentielle a révélé la présence de trois blocs dans le pays (un bloc macroniste de centre-droit, un bloc d'extrême-droite et un bloc de gauche).
The election 'confirms the fact that Ensemble (Macron's coalition) is now the centre-right,' says Mathieu Doiret of FRANCE 24's polling partners Ipsos, noting that the president's camp now draws most of its support from an elderly, centre-right constituency that previously voted for the mainstream conservative party, Les Républicains. Should Macron's coalition fail to win an outright majority, an alliance with the rump of the Républicains is the most likely outcome, Doiret added. 'We have a centre-right majority because elderly people hold the balance of power, because they vote twice as much as the young,' he said. 'That's why Angela Merkel stayed in power for so long in Germany and why Boris Johnson wins in the UK.'
