This party traces its modern history to the Alfortville Congress, and it won an election on a platform called the "110 Propositions."

One leader of this party worked with Helmut Kohl to get the Treaty of Maastricht ratified and initiated a period of "cohabitation" by appointing Jacques Chirac as Prime Minister.
