The party has a strong Christian base and advocates for the rights of the Maronite community. FPM has been influential in Lebanese politics, particularly after the 2005 parliamentary elections. It has formed alliances with other parties, including the Hezbollah group, to strengthen its position. The movement focuses on issues such as anti-corruption, public services, and the need for political reform in Lebanon.
