The Democratic Movement and affiliated group (French: groupe du Mouvement démocrate et apparentés) is a parliamentary group in the National Assembly including representatives of the Democratic Movement (MoDem) after the 2017 legislative elections.

History

After the rallying of MoDem president François Bayrou to the candidacy of Emmanuel Macron, the party was reserved dozens of constituencies in the subsequent legislative elections,[1] hoping to secure at least 15 deputies, the number required to form a parliamentary group.[2] The party ultimately won 42 seats in the National Assembly.[3]

On 25 June, Marc Fesneau was unanimously elected president of the MoDem group by its 42 members.[4]

At the time of its formation on 27 June, the parliamentary group had 47 deputies, including 4 associated members.[5]
