Les Républicains

Les Républicains (LR) is a center-right political party in France, founded in 2015 as a successor to the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP). It advocates for conservative values, free-market economy, law and order, and national sovereignty. The party often promotes policies favoring business, security, and traditional social structures, while supporting European integration with some limits. LR appeals to voters who seek stability, economic growth, and a strong state. It is a major competitor to more left-leaning parties and has played a significant role in French politics, including supporting former presidents like Nicolas Sarkozy.
