Popular Republican Union (Template:Lang-fr), is a centrist French political party, founded in 2007 by François Asselineau. The ideology of the party is Eurosceptic, and seeks the withdrawal of France from the European Union, the euro and the NATO.
History
After leaving the Rally for an Independent and Sovereign France (RIF) where Asselineau was a member of the steering committee for 3 months, in 2007, for the 50th anniversary of the Rome Treaty signature, he created the Popular Republican Union (UPR).
Ideology
UPR runs on a centrist anti-EU platform stating that all French policy decisions are made by an "unelected oligarchy, not French," leading to the political disaffection of the French public, and that the continued rule of the EU over European affairs will lead to a "global apartheid". UPR promotes that withdrawal from the European Union and the euro by the usage of TEU Article 50 as a first step to get France out of its current crisis by regaining capital, goods and person flow regulation control. For military sovereignty, UPR advocates France withdrawal from the NATO.
UPR also favors nationalisation of entities such as TF1, La Poste, Gaz de France, highways, water management and troubled banks.
Leadership
UPR is presided by its founder François Asselineau.
Popular support and electoral record
UPR claims to be a growing party despite "the blacklisting from the national media" due to UPR's program. The movement has been developed exclusively online notably because of Asselineau's conferences that had been seen more than 2 Million times. They claim to be one of the most visited French political party website as evidenced by their Alexa rank.

Presidential
In January 2011, Asselineau announced his intention to run for the 2012 French presidential election for the UPR. He confirmed his candidacy in December 2011 during the national congress of the party. However, Asselineau was finally not among the ten candidates officially endorsed by the Constitutional council as he could muster only 17 out of the 500 signatures from elected politicians that are necessary to run for president.
Legislative
Following the Cahuzac affair and the resignation of Jérôme Cahuzac, Asselineau and Régis Chamagne decided to run for the legislative election in the Lot-et-Garonne's 3rd constituency. In response to charges that they were carpetbaggers—not being residents of the constituency—they responded that members of the National Assembly represent the whole nation, not a region. UPR sought to publicize its legislative program, to galvanize party members and to gain in notoriety thanks to the media exposure of this election. UPR failed to reach the second round, receiving less than one half of one percent of the vote.
European Parliament
The party participated in the 2014 European Parliament election by being one of the 15 parties (out of 193) to present lists in every constituency. However, a limited budget restricted active campaign mailings to only thirty departments. The purpose was to introduce their program hoping to alert electors deceived from the current political system and gain in notoriety thanks to the media exposure. François Asselineau complained to CSA that the party did not have access to media and claimed that media's principle of equity was to expose parties that are already well-known. UPR scored 0.41% of votes cast for France and Asselineau scored 0.56% of votes cast in the Île-de-France constituency.
Departemental
UPR ran in the 2015 departmental elections with 14 lists out of the 2,054 cantons. They intended to alert electors notably on UPR's program and that the local situation is the consequence of national and international circumstances. They were hoping to score honorably. During the campaign, Yannick Herve, candidate in the Canton of Erstein, has been detained and questioned by the gendarmery after having taken down European flags from 6 communes' city halls while informing them beforehand. His intention was to protest against a symbol that is claiming to be unconstitutional in France. He has been charged by the 6 mayors for theft. UPR scored in average 1,63% of votes cast.
