MoDem secured an agreement with [[Renaissance (French political party)|La République En Marche!]] (LRM) — later Renaissance (RE) — in the [[2017 French legislative election|2017 legislative election]] after Bayrou had endorsed the candidacy of [[Emmanuel Macron]] in February. The two parties have since been in alliance, as of late named [[Ensemble (political coalition)|Ensemble]].

The party's founder and leader Bayrou has served as [[Prime Minister of France]] since December 2024.

==History==
===Background===
{{further|Union for French Democracy}}
MoDem traces its roots to the [[Union for French Democracy]] (UDF), a centrist coalition/party active from 1978 to 2007. The UDF had always supported centre-right governments since its creation by [[Valéry Giscard d'Estaing]], who was [[president of France]] from 1974 to 1981.

In the [[2002 French presidential election|2002 presidential election]] the centre-right was so fractured that each of its constituent parties, the [[Rally for the Republic]], the UDF and [[Liberal Democracy (France)|Liberal Democracy]], ran a candidate: [[Jacques Chirac]] (19.9%), [[François Bayrou]] (6.8%) and [[Alain Madelin]] (3.9%), respectively. Following Chirac's landslide re-election over [[Jean-Marie Le Pen]], the UDF aligned with the newly-formed [[Union for a Popular Movement]] (UMP), but chose not to be part of it and, while most of its members directly joined the UMP, the rump of the UDF became increasingly independent. During Chirac's second term, it did not participate in the governments led by [[Jean-Pierre Raffarin]] and [[François Fillon]] (except for [[Gilles de Robien]]), but took part in the government coalition in the [[Senate (France)|Senate]] until 2007. However, on the initiative of its leader Bayrou, it eventually supported a censure motion along with the [[Socialist Party (France)|Socialist Party]] (PS).

===2007 presidential and legislative elections===
During the campaign for the [[2007 French presidential election|2007 presidential election]], candidate Bayrou advocated a national unity government. He presented himself as a [[Centrism|centrist]] and a [[Social liberalism|social-liberal]],<ref>[http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_id=8780184 The third man], ''[[The Economist]]'', 1 March 2007.</ref> proclaiming that, if elected, he would "govern beyond the [[Left–right political spectrum|left–right divide]]".<ref>[http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=8853752 Jacques Chirac's poisoned legacy], ''[[The Economist]]'', 16 March 2007, p. 17.</ref> Although eliminated in the first round, he was able to garner 18.6% of the vote, with voters supporting him partly because of his independence from major parties. Following the election, he launched the Democratic Movement (MoDem) on 29 May to reinforce his strategy of political autonomy from the centre-right. MoDem was also supported by the [[Union of Radical Republicans]]. Some members of the UDF did not agree with this new strategy because the weighted French balloting system would hinder the party from obtaining seats in the upcoming legislative election. These members created the [[The Centrists|New Centre]] (NC) — later The Centrists —, continuing their support for the newly elected president [[Nicolas Sarkozy]].

In the first round of the [[2007 French legislative election|2007 legislative election]] MoDem won 7.6% of the vote. Candidates ran under the UDF-MoDem banner, since the party had not yet been created officially. The party gained only three seats in the [[National Assembly (France)|National Assembly]] (not including [[Abdoulatifou Aly]], who was elected in [[Mayotte]] for a party affiliated to MoDem, sat with the NC for a while and later sat with MoDem deputies).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/13/tribun/fiches_id/337586.asp|title=M.

===Official foundation and following elections===
MoDem became an official political party in December 2007 following its founding assembly in [[Villepinte, Seine-Saint-Denis]], in the suburbs of Paris. The assembly elected Bayrou, who ran uncontested, as party president, as well its provisional executive board. In November, the UDF effectively ceased to exist, and was fully integrated into MoDem.<ref>"M. Bayrou enterre l'UDF et célèbre la naissance du MoDem", ''Le Monde'', 1 December 2007</ref>

In the [[2009 European Parliament election in France|2009 European Parliament election]] MoDem won 8.5% of the vote and six seats.

In the [[2012 French presidential election|2012 presidential election]] Bayrou ran for the third time, winning 9.3% of the vote, half of what he had obtained five years before. In the subsequent [[2012 French legislative election|legislative election]] the party was reduced to 1.8% and two seats. Also Bayrou lost his seat in the National Assembly, a seat he had held for most of his political career.

MoDem made a comeback in the [[2014 European Parliament election in France|2014 European Parliament election]]: along with the newly-formed [[Union of Democrats and Independents]] (UDI), also a successor of the UDF formed by UMP splinters, the party obtained 9.9% of the vote and seven seats. Before that, in the [[2014 French municipal elections|2014 municipal elections]], MoDem scored an average of 15% in cities with more than {{formatnum:10000}} inhabitants, won over 50 cities,<ref>[http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2014/03/27/97001-20140327FILWWW00281-municipales-le-modem-a-fait-15-au-1er-tour.php "Municipales: le MoDem a fait 15% au 1er tour"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140723112626/http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2014/03/27/97001-20140327FILWWW00281-municipales-le-modem-a-fait-15-au-1er-tour.php |date=23 July 2014 }}, ''[[Le Figaro]]'', 27 March 2014.</ref> including [[Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques|Pau]] (with Bayrou), [[Biarritz]], [[Saint-Brieuc]], [[Mont-de-Marsan]] and [[Talence]], and joined ruling coalitions in [[Bordeaux]], [[Dijon]], [[Saint-Étienne]] and [[Auxerre]], among others.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

===Centrist coalition with President Macron===
In the [[2017 French presidential election|2017 presidential election]] Bayour did not stand as candidate for the first time in 15 years, but endorsed [[Emmanuel Macron]], who was elected by a landslide in second round over [[Marine Le Pen]]. Macron's strategy was to govern beyond the left–right divide, similarly to Bayrou's in 2007 and 2012, and bring about a political realignment. Consequently, in the [[2017 French legislative election|following legislative election]] MoDem joined forces with Macron's [[Renaissance (French political party)|La République En Marche!]] (LRM) — later Renaissance (RE) — and largely increased its seats in the National Assembly. Bayrou briefly served as minister of Justice in the first government under president Macron,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gouvernement.fr/sites/default/files/composition-gouvernement/philippe-1/composition-du-gouvernement.pdf|title=COMMUNIQUE|website=www.gouvernement.fr}}{{deadlink|date=February 2025}}</ref> before resigning as MoDem and its MEPs were accused of potentially fictitious employment practices within the European Parliament.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40351918|title=Top Macron ally Bayrou quits French government|date=21 June 2017|work=BBC News|access-date=22 July 2017|archive-date=22 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170722075426/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40351918|url-status=live}}</ref> However, MoDem continued to be an active part of the presidential majority and governments for the entire presidential term, as well as in the [[2019 European Parliament election in France|2019 European Parliament election]].

Macron was then re-elected in the [[2022 French presidential election|2022 presidential election]], again with MoDem's support. Ahead of the [[2022 French legislative election|2022 legislative election]], MoDem joined the [[Ensemble (political coalition)|Ensemble]] coalition with other centrist parties, notably including RE, [[Horizons (political party)|Horizons]] and UDI,<ref>Elizabeth Pineau (5 May 2022), [https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/parties-linked-frances-macron-form-coalition-parliament-elections-2022-05-05/ Parties linked to France's Macron form coalition for parliament elections] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220507141409/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/parties-linked-frances-macron-form-coalition-parliament-elections-2022-05-05/ |date=7 May 2022 }} ''[[Reuters]]''.</ref> but the coalition lost the majority it previously held in the National Assembly. MoDem was part of the coalition also in the [[2024 European Parliament election in France|2024 European Parliament election]] (obtaining three seats, down from five in 2019) and the subsequent, snap [[2024 French legislative election|2024 legislative election]] (obtaining 33 seats, down from 48 in 2022), during which the centrist camp was further reduced in its parliamentary seats. After the enlargement of the government coalition to [[The Republicans (France)|The Republicans]], the centre-right successor of the UMP, with [[Michel Barnier]]'s minority [[Barnier government|government]] and the latter's fall due to a vote of no-confidence, in December 2024 Macron appointed Bayrou as prime minister,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lemonde.fr/en/politics/article/2024/12/23/french-pm-bayrou-appoints-new-government-former-prime-minister-elisabeth-borne-named-education-minister_6736396_5.html|title=French PM Bayrou appoints new government. Former prime minister Elisabeth Borne named education minister|date=23 December 2024|via=Le Monde}}</ref> at the head of another minority [[Bayrou government|government]].

==Ideology==
{{Liberalism in France}}
{{Expand-section|date=June 2024}}
During the [[2007 French presidential election|2007 presidential election]], Bayrou stressed three points: the public debt, the need for change and ''ouverture'' to the right/left political system, and the need of constitutional reforms in that direction.

==International affiliations==
In 2004, Bayrou launched the [[European Democratic Party]] (EDP) along with his Italian ally [[Francesco Rutelli]], whose [[Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy]] party was later incorporated in the social-democratic [[Democratic Party (Italy)|Democratic Party]] (PD) and replaced by minor groups in the EDP, as the PD had joined the [[Party of European Socialists]] instead. In 2005, the EDP created, along with the [[New Democrat Coalition]] of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] of the United States, the [[Alliance of Democrats (political international)|Alliance of Democrats]], a worldwide network of [[Centrism|centrist]] and [[Social liberalism|social-liberal]] parties.

In the [[European Parliament]], MoDem has been part of the [[Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group]] and, since 2019, the larger [[Renew Europe]]. In the [[European Committee of the Regions]], MoDem sits in the [[Renew Europe in the European Committee of the Regions|Renew Europe CoR]] group.
