Popular Party for French Democracy

Popular Party for French Democracy

The Popular Party for French Democracy ("Parti populaire pour la démocratie française", PPDF) was a centrist-liberal party in France.

It was launched (as a successor to the Perspectives and Realities Clubs) in July 1995 by supporters of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing within the Union for French Democracy (UDF), as Hervé de Charette, Jean-Pierre Fourcade, Dominique Bussereau, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Jean-François Mattei, Pierre Albertini, Jean-François Humbert, Françoise Hostalier and Robert Hersant.

In 1998 PPDF participated in the transformation of UDF into New UDF (from an alliance of parties to a single party), although retaining some of its autonomy and having lost some members to Liberal Democracy, including Jean-François Mattei, Jean-Pierre Raffarin and Dominique Bussereau.

In 2002 the party finally merged into the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).
