background

Until it was founded as an independent party in November 2008, Debout la République was a current that was led within the UMP (today's Republicans ). From its inception, the party's president was Nicolas Dupont-Aignan , mayor of the Paris suburb of Yerres, where the party's headquarters are located. Above all, she advocates the strengthening of national identity and the defense of France's national sovereignty against transnational organizations such as the European Union . From an economic point of view, it is more oriented towards the welfare state and state intervention and is therefore often classified as "left-wing Gaullist" or "socially Gaullist". Debout la République belonged to the European party EU Democrats as a current within the UMP . In 2014 she moved to the Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe . More than 1,000 supporters of the new party took part in the founding party conference on November 23, 2008. In 2009 the youth association Debout Les Jeunes was founded.

Regardless of the previous rejection of the Front National (FN) , Nicolas Dupont-Aignan announced an electoral alliance with Marine Le Pen in the context of the 2017 presidential election after the first ballot . a. should secure the post of Prime Minister in the event of the election of Marine Le Pen. The support of the FN led to considerable internal party dissensions and the resignation of prominent party members. The electoral alliance with the FN was terminated shortly after Le Pen lost the election and before the parliamentary elections in June 2017 because the party did not receive enough of its own candidates in easily won constituencies. In the parliamentary elections themselves, only Dupont-Aignan was able to maintain his seat of parliament.

At the end of May 2016, EU parliamentarian Bernard Monot joined the DLF from the FN. In the European elections in May 2019 , the party failed with 3.5% of the vote in France because of the 5% threshold and has not been represented in the European Parliament since then.
