The Union de la Droite (Union of the Right) in France is a coalition of right-wing parties primarily composed of The Republicans (Les Républicains - LR), the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI), and The Centrists (LC). This alliance has been a prominent force in French politics, especially since the Fifth Republic, and aims to consolidate right-wing and center-right political power.
The Union de la Droite advocates for liberal economic policies, including reducing public spending, lowering taxes, and promoting business-friendly regulations to stimulate economic growth.
A significant focus is on reducing the national debt through fiscal discipline and efficient public spending.
Traditional Values: The coalition emphasizes traditional family values and cultural identity, often aligning with conservative views on social issues such as opposition to same-sex marriage and strict immigration controls.
Strengthening national security and maintaining a strong national identity are central to their policies. This includes strict immigration policies and enhanced border controls.
Efficiency and Reforms: In education and healthcare, the Union de la Droite supports reforms aimed at increasing efficiency, reducing bureaucracy, and ensuring that these public services are sustainable and effective.
Pro-European but Critical: While the coalition generally supports the European Union, it calls for reforms to ensure that EU policies respect national sovereignty and promote the interests of France.
Advocating for a strong defense policy, the coalition emphasizes the importance of a robust military and active participation in international alliances such as NATO.
In the 2022 legislative elections, the Union de la Droite presented joint candidates in 94% of constituencies, showcasing a unified front against the left and far-right parties. This strategy reflects their goal of maximizing parliamentary representation and influence.
The Union de la Droite has evolved from earlier right-wing coalitions in France, such as the Union for French Democracy (UDF) and the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP). These alliances have historically been instrumental in consolidating right-wing support to achieve electoral success and govern effectively.
