French president-elect Emmanuel Macron’s party changed its name Monday in preparation for the elections to the National Assembly in June.
The En Marche! party will now be called Republique en Marche, or Republic on the Move, party Secretary General Richard Ferrand said at a press conference in Paris. The group will announce the 577 candidates for the parliamentary seats on Thursday and won’t engage in alliances with others aside from the one already concluded with Francois Bayrou’s Modem.
