TheRadical Party (PR) was founded in 1901 as the Republican, Radical and Radical-Socialist Party. In 1972, the left-wing of the party split and formed theRadical Party of the Left (PRG). The two parties were part of different political alliances, with the PR part of thecentre-right, successively theUnion for French Democracy,Union for a Popular Movement andUnion of Democrats and Independents, while the PRG allied with theSocialist Party on thecentre-left, with PRG leaderSylvia Pinel contesting theSocialist Party presidential primary in January 2017.
The idea for a united Radical Party was promoted in June 2017 after thepresidential election in whichEmmanuel Macron won the presidential election as the candidate for the centristLa République En Marche!.[6]
