Les Républicains: a party rooted in the values of the republican right
Les Républicains (LR) is a French right-wing political party, founded in 2015 as the successor to the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP). Heir to the great Gaullist and liberal traditions, it defends values such as republican order, merit, hard work and national sovereignty. LR has left its mark on French political history with several presidents coming from its ranks, including Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy. Today, it is striving to reinvent itself in response to contemporary economic, social and identity-related challenges, while remaining true to its fundamental principles.
