En Marche! (French: [ɑ̃ maʁʃ]; English translation: "Forward!", "Onward!", "Working!" or "On The Move!") is a centrist and liberalpolitical party in France. It was founded on 6 April 2016 by Emmanuel Macron, a former Minister of Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs, who was later elected President of France in the 2017 presidential election by a landslide 66.1% of the second-round vote.
The party ran candidates in the 2017 legislative elections as La République En Marche! (English translation: "The Republic Onwards!"), including members of the Democratic Movement, as well as dissidents from the Socialist Party, The Republicans and minor parties. It won an absolute majority of seats in the National Assembly, securing 308 under its label and 42 for the MoDem.
Macron considers En Marche! to be a progressive movement, uniting both the left and the right.
En Marche! was founded on 6 April 2016 in Amiens by Emmanuel Macron, then aged 38, with the help of political advisor Ismaël Emelien. The initials of the name of the party are the same as the initials of Macron's name.
The party ran candidates in the 2017 French legislative election, and achieved a majority in the National Assembly. It has not formed any alliances except with MoDem, another centrist party. For the candidates of the party, half were to be from civil society and the other half having held previous political office.
