Union pour un mouvement populaire (UMP) was a political party in France, founded in 2002. It was established to unite various center-right political groups and support the presidency of Jacques Chirac. The UMP aimed to promote conservative values and policies, focusing on issues like economic growth, security, and immigration. In 2015, the UMP was renamed Les Républicains as part of a rebranding effort. The party has played a significant role in French politics, producing several prominent leaders, including Nicolas Sarkozy, who served as President from 2007 to 2012. The UMP's legacy continues to influence the center-right political landscape in France.
