The "Divers Centre" (DVC) or "Various Center" in France refers to centrist candidates who are not members of any major political party. This label was established by the French Ministry of the Interior in 2020 to provide a nuanced categorization for these independent centrist politicians.
The DVC label is used for candidates who advocate centrist positions, often focusing on moderate, balanced policies that avoid extreme left or right-wing ideologies. They typically support pro-European Union stances, economic liberalism, and social liberalism.
DVC-affiliated candidates generally promote policies that encourage economic growth through liberal economic policies, support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and fostering innovation. They often advocate for fiscal responsibility and sustainable economic development.
In social matters, DVC candidates usually support progressive policies that include social justice, equal opportunities, and protection of individual freedoms. They tend to back measures that enhance social welfare while maintaining a strong emphasis on individual responsibility.
Many DVC candidates also prioritize environmental sustainability. They advocate for policies that address climate change, promote renewable energy, and encourage environmentally friendly practices.
The DVC category emerged as a response to the increasing fragmentation of traditional political parties in France. It provides a way for centrist candidates to present themselves without the baggage of large party affiliations.
This has become particularly relevant in the context of the decline of the traditional center-left and center-right parties, with the political landscape now dominated by Emmanuel Macron’s La République En Marche! (LREM) and Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN). The DVC represents a diverse group of candidates unified by their centrist orientation, striving for moderate and pragmatic solutions to France’s political, economic, and social challenges.
