This party was initially created as a reaction to the decision taken byEELV of making alliances with theLeft Front. The aim of UDE founders was to create a reformist centre-left party, acceptingglobalization andmarket economy, and supporting presidentFrançois Hollande. The founders of UDE declared they wanted to become a strong ally of theSocialist Party, and attract people from EELV or from theDemocratic Movement.[3][4]
