The party was created with the purpose of attracting centre-right support for Emmanuel Macron for the 2022 French presidential election.[6] Ahead of the 2022 legislative election, it formed a coalition with two other main centrist parties – Democratic Movement (MoDem) and La République En Marche! (LREM) – to coordinate which candidates it presents.[7]
