What Horizons does

Horizons is a French center-right political party founded in October 2021 by former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe and organized as a not-for-profit association under French law 1901. Its stated purpose is to offer a pro-enterprise, republican-order, pro-European political alternative distinct from traditional right-wing formations and the far right, with a written manifesto articulating five principles (liberty, truth, respect, determination, gathering) and policy pillars built on producing, protecting, educating, caring, and choosing. As of 2026 the party claims 43,000 adherents (including 6,500 youth), 1,400 municipal committees, 3,000 local elected officials (500 mayors), and 54 parliamentarians across the Assemblée nationale, Sénat, and European Parliament.

The party's product surface is fundamentally organizational rather than technological. Core 'products' are the membership itself (sold via an annual cotisation through the adherer.horizonsleparti.fr portal), investiture for electoral candidates (allocated by the Commission nationale d'investiture), recurring publications (La Revue issued twice yearly and Le Manifeste), and a branded merchandise line (Boutique Horizons, priced from €5 to €73, free standard shipping from €80, items manufactured in France or the EU). Supporting digital infrastructure—main website, renewal portal, donation platform, and e-commerce storefront—is built on standard web stacks hosted by Clever Cloud and designed by BDSA L'AGENCE.

Monetization combines four streams: (i) recurring annual membership dues from ~43,000 adherents, (ii) individual donations collected through the CNCCFP-approved Association nationale de financement, (iii) French state public financing tied to electoral results and parliamentary representation, and (iv) supplementary merchandise and event revenue. Pricing for membership fees is not publicly disclosed. Governance rests with Édouard Philippe as President, supported by a Bureau national, a Conseil national, an Assemblée des maires, and a CNI, with the General Assembly of members as ultimate authority. In July 2026 the party formally transitioned into presidential-campaign mode around Édouard Philippe's 2027 candidacy.

Direct peers

• Rassemblement National: Main French far-right party led by Marine Le Pen / Jordan Bardella. Competes with Horizons on the right flank of the political spectrum for voters disaffected with the mainstream right, and represents the principal rival Horizons explicitly positions itself against.
• Parti Socialiste: Historic French center-left party. Operates a comparable association loi 1901 structure with membership dues, public financing, federated local sections, and CNCCFP-supervised accounts; competes in the same electoral contests across all levels.
• Mouvement Démocrate (MoDem): Centrist French party historically led by François Bayrou and currently allied with Renaissance. Operates the same association loi 1901 + agréée financement model and competes for the same moderate/center-right electorate.
• Renaissance: French centrist/center-right political party founded in 2016 (as En Marche) by Emmanuel Macron and the incumbent governing majority. Direct competitor for the same center-right voter pool, with overlapping elected officials and a similar pro-European, reformist platform.
• Europe Écologie Les Verts: French green party with similar association-based governance, public financing, municipal committee structure, and elected-official bench. Comparable scale and operating model even though positioned on the opposite political pole.
• La France Insoumise: French far-left party led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Mirrors Horizons' model of a strong founding personality, disciplined activist network, and competitive national council/events programming; relevant as a structural comparator for movement-style parties.
• Les Républicains: Historic French center-right party (successor to the UMP) currently the main opposition on the right. Directly competes with Horizons for right-of-center voters, mayors, parliamentarians, and presidential candidacies.
• Horizons et Démocrates (UDI successor): Centrist French party that split off from Les Républicains; competes directly with Horizons for the same centrist-to-center-right political space, elected officials, and voter segment.

Emerging players

• Place Publique: Smaller French left-of-center party with a comparable membership model and association-based governance; relevant as a structural peer of similar scale and organizational sophistication.
• Les Centristes / Nouveau Centre: Smaller centrist French political movement historically allied with the center-right; structurally similar to Horizons in scale, association-based governance, and electoral positioning.
