About
Nouvelle Énergie (New Energy) began as an internal current within the mainstream right in 2014 before relaunching as a standalone movement in 2021 under David Lisnard, mayor of Cannes. Historically aligned with Les Républicains and the EPP family, the party's status shifted in March 2026 when Lisnard left LR to launch an independent bid for the 2027 presidency. Its exact current parliamentary strength is disputed between sources.
