ThePirate Party (French:Parti pirate, PP) is apolitical party inFrance based on the model of theSwedish Pirate Party.

Like otherpirate parties in Europe, it is affiliated toEuropean Pirate Party (PPEU). The youth organisation is calledParti Pirates Jeunes (PPJ;Pirate Party Youth) respectivelyLes Jeunes du Parti pirate (The Youth of Pirate Party).
The French Pirate party movement was founded on 21 June 2006, relating to the vote of the FrenchLaw on Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society better known asDADVSI. Due to dissension a new section of the Pirate Party emerged in 2007, calledParti pirate français Canal historique (PPFCH). On 4 April 2009, the foundation of the Pirate Party as an organisation was published in theJournal officiel de la République française (page 1663, no. 1795).[5] PP and PPFCH had similar aims and reunited in summer of 2009.[6] Already during the debate on theHADOPI law a further pirate party namedParti pirate français (PPF) appeared, founded by Rémy Cérésiani. The PPF, which had an identical logo combined with a similar name to the PP was finally disbanded in September 2009.[7]
The PP took part in the 10thYvelines department election on 20 September 2009, and received 472 votes in the first round (turnout: 22.76%), which was 2.08%. There was no record of voting in the second round (turnout: 25.99%), which was won by the conservativeUMP candidate.[8]
The Pirate Party, participated in the2012 legislative election presenting 101 candidates.[9] Their aim was 50 candidates to receive over 1% to allow them to receive public funding, they only received 24 candidates over 1%. They achieved an average of 0.85% across the districts they stood in. Their best result in metropolitan France was the district of Haut-Rhin with 2.41% but their overall best showing was in the 7th district of oversea French Nationals where they achieved 2.85%.[10]
