The movement was founded by Christian Estrosi as a movement of local elected officials in October 2017 with several right-wing personalities such as Jean-Luc Moudenc, mayor of Toulouse; Gilles Avérous, mayor of Châteauroux; Alain Chrétien, mayor of Vesoul; and Luc Lemonnier, mayor of Le Havre.[1] LFA became a party in 2020.
On October 14, 2017, Christian Estrosi, mayor of Nice, launched a movement of local elected officials which he called “France audacieuse”.[2] This name was already that of a civil society think tank, active since 2016, which carries out in-depth studies on sustainable development and the social economy.[3] The launch of Christian Estrosi's movement was therefore marred by accusations of plagiarism, heavily relayed on Twitter and in the media.[4] The object of the association was to "bring a renewal in French political life by organizing the voice of the territories and bringing the voice of citizens to allow the development of a democratic life that is more participatory and more representative".[5]
On September 22, 2020, Christian Estrosi announced at a general assembly the transformation of his movement into a political party to "make the voice of the territories heard" and "weigh in the political debate".[6][7]
