En Marche! (French: [ɑ̃ maʁʃ]; English translation: "Forward!", "Onward!", "Working!" or "On The Move!"), also known as La République En Marche!, 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. Macron considers En Marche! to be a progressive movement, uniting both the left and the right.
The party ran candidates in the 2017 legislative elections as La République En Marche! (English translation: "The Republic Onwards!") including dissidents from the Socialist Party, The Republicans and minor parties. It won an absolute majority in the National Assembly, securing 308 seats. Its ally, the Democratic Movement, secured 42.
En Marche! rejects conservative values and is a pro-European progressive movement that accepts globalization and wants to "modernize" and moralize French politics. The movement generally accepts members from other parties at a higher rate than other political parties in France and does not impose any fees on members who want to join.
The party is seen as the most pro-European party in France, but is not currently part of any European parliamentary group.
La Gauche Libre was declared as an organization on 1 March 2015, then lesjeunesavecmacron.fr is registered as a domain on 23 June 2015. Eventually, two Facebook pages were created and an extra domain registered. Another organization was eventually created by Macron, declared as "L'Association pour le renouvellement de la vie politique" and was registered as a "micro-party" in January 2016. This was following en-marche.fr being claimed as a domain. "L'Association pour le renouvellement de la vie politique" was then registered as "EMA EN MARCHE" in March.
