The Centrists (French: Les Centristes, LC), known as The Centrists – New Centre (Les Centristes – Nouveau Centre, LC-NC) since 2018, formerly known as New Centre (Nouveau Centre, NC) and European Social Liberal Party (Parti Social Libéral Européen, PSLE), is a centre-right[3] political party in France formed by the members of the Union for French Democracy (UDF) – including 18 of the 29 members of the UDF in the National Assembly) – who did not agree with François Bayrou's decision to found the Democratic Movement (MoDem) and wanted to support the newly elected president Nicolas Sarkozy, continuing the UDF–Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) alliance.
The party was founded on 29 May 2007 during a press conference[5] and renamed on 11 December 2016.[6]
