These alliances are the Horizon Monaco , consisting of the parties Union de Monégasques and Union Nationale pour l'Avenir de Monaco , and the Union Monégasque , consisting of the parties Rassemblement et Enjeux , Union pour la Principauté and Synergie Monégasque . In addition, the newly founded Renaissance party , which consists only of employees working in Monaco, primarily croupiers , of the Société des bains de mer (SBM), a company that runs many tourist businesses and casinos in Monaco, also took part for the first time.
