Renaissance (RE) is a liberal and centrist political party in France.[4][5] The party was originally known as En Marche ![c][6] and later La République En Marche ![d] (transl. The Republic on the Move or transl. Republic Forward),[7][8][9] before adopting its current name in September 2022.[10]

The party was established on 6 April 2016 by Emmanuel 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,[11] 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 considers RE to be a progressive movement, uniting both left and right.[12] RE supports pro-Europeanism,[13][12][14] accepts globalization and wants to "modernise and moralise" French politics.[15][16][17] The movement generally accepts members from other parties at a higher rate than other political parties in France,[13][18][19] and does not impose any fees on members who want to join.[20] The party has been a member of Renew Europe, the political group of the European Parliament representing liberals and centrists, since June 2019.[3]
