MoDem

MoDem (Mouvement Démocrate) is a centrist political party in France, led by François Bayrou. Recent news highlights its involvement in ongoing political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Specifically, MoDem is part of discussions regarding a potential coalition with Renaissance and Horizons, although Gabriel Attal (Renaissance) has cautioned against alliances with Les Républicains if they align with the far-right. Bayrou's recent defeat in the Pau mayoral election has also been a significant event. Furthermore, MoDem has been active in legislative efforts, including a successful proposal to help the press receive payments from digital platforms and a bill to increase defense education in schools. These activities position MoDem as a relevant player in French politics, particularly in shaping the center-right's strategy for the upcoming presidential election.
