Republican Party (France)
The Republican Party (, PR) was a conservative-liberal political party in France founded in 1977. It replaced the National Federation of the Independent Republicans that was founded in 1966. It was created by future President of France, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. It was known to be conservative in domestic, social and economic policies, pro-NATO, and pro-European.
Radical Party (France)
At 1902 legislative election, the Radical-Socialists and the Independent Radicals allied themselves with, to their immediate right, the conservative-liberals of the Democratic Alliance, and to their left the Socialists in the "Bloc des gauches" (Coalition of the Left), with the Radicals emerging the main political force. Émile Combes took the head of the "Bloc des gauches" cabinet and led a resolute anti-clerical policy culminating in the 1905 laic law which, along with the earlier Jules Ferry laws removing confessional influence from public education, formed the backbone of "laïcité", France's policy of combatting clericalism by actively excluding it from state institutions. From then on, the Radical-Socialist Party's chief aim in domestic policy was to prevent its wide-ranging set of reforms from being overturned by a return to power of the religious right.
