Territories of Progress – Social Reformist Movement ( French: Territoires de progrès – Mouvement social-réformiste, TDP) is a French political party of the centre [3] to centre-left. [4] [5] It was founded in February 2020 by Socialist Party ministers Jean-Yves Le Drian and Olivier Dussopt who had previously defected from that party to join the presidential majority ( La République En Marche!) of Emmanuel Macron. Since October 2021, the party's president was Olivier Dussopt. The party constituted the social democratic or centre-left part of the presidential majority. [6]
As of 2022, it had 46 members of Parliament. Élisabeth Borne was a regular member (not an elected member of Parliament) who, on 16 May 2022, was appointed by President Macron as prime minister to replace Jean Castex.
The party officially launched on 1 February 2020, during a meeting in Pantin, in Seine-Saint-Denis, then presented at a press conference on 2 July 2020. [7] Senator Xavier Iacovelli became its Secretary General. [8] The party defined itself as "social-democratic, reformist, and Europeanist." [9]
