history

Anti- HADOPI poster of the Parti Pirate

The Parti Pirate was created in 2006 in protest against DADSVI, the law on copyright and related rights in the information society . The founding was inspired by the Swedish Pirate Party, which originated in early 2006. The party helped organize the protest against the DADSVI law, but did not take part in elections for the time being. In 2007 there was tension in the party, as a result of which the Parti Pirate Français Canal Historique (PPFCH) split off. In the summer of 2009, however, the two parties reunited. In the same year, the HADOPI law against copyright infringement on the Internet was discussed, as a result of which the Parti Pirate gained further popularity. Another pirate party existed for a short time in 2009 under the name Parti Pirate Français (PPF), which was founded by a student at the elite university IEP de Paris . However, this dissolved in the course of 2009 in favor of the PP.

elections

The PP first ran for elections in 2009. In the by-elections in constituency 10 of the Yvelines department on September 20, their candidate Maxime Rouquet received 2.08% of the vote. In the new by-elections on July 4, 2010 in the same constituency, he won 0.66%.

In the parliamentary elections in June 2012 , the party ran with 101 candidates. They averaged 0.85%. The best results were achieved in Haut-Rhin 1 and in the international constituency 7 (Germany) with 2.85%. In general, the best results were achieved in the regions of Ile-de-France, Alsace, Midi-Pyrénées and the Lyon region. Overall, however, only 25 candidates achieved results above 1%, 50 results above 1% would have been required for party funding.

In the local elections in March 2014, the party won two seats.
