The Reformers (Les Réformateurs) is a libertarian[citation needed] and liberal faction within The Republicans, formerly called the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).[1]
The Reformers supported laissez-faire and a free market economy. It is led by Hervé Novelli and most members of it come from Liberal Democracy, a right-liberal party which merged into the UMP in 2002. Many of its members are also close supporters of Nicolas Sarkozy within the party.
