The party was created with the purpose of attracting centre-right support for Emmanuel Macron for the 2022 French presidential election.[8] It seeks to appeal to the secular and pro-European right, with a "social calling".[9] 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.[10]
