The Radical Movement (French: Mouvement radical, MR), whose complete name is Radical, Social and Liberal Movement (Mouvement radical, social et libéral) is a social-liberal political party in France.
The party aims at being an "alternative to the right-left paradigm".
The Radical Party (PR) was founded in 1901 as the Republican, Radical and Radical-Socialist Party. In 1972, the left-wing of the party split and formed the Radical Party of the Left (PRG). The two parties were part of different political alliances, with the PR part of the centre-right, successively the Union for French Democracy, Union for a Popular Movement and Union of Democrats and Independents, while the PRG allied with the Socialist Party on the centre-left, with PRG leader Sylvia Pinel contesting the Socialist Party presidential primary in January 2017. The idea for a united Radical Party was promoted in June 2017, after the 2017 presidential election in which Emmanuel Macron won the presidential election as the candidate for the centrist En Marche!.
The MR was founded on 10 December 2017 and merged the Radical Party and the Radical Party of the Left.
