Launch On October 14, 2017, Christian Estrosi, mayor of
Nice, launched a movement of local elected officials which he called “
France audacieuse”. 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. The launch of Christian Estrosi's movement was therefore marred by accusations of
plagiarism, heavily relayed on
Twitter and in the media. 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".
Transformation into a political party 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". == Organization ==
