History
On November 22, 2020, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, vice-president of Debout la France, announced his departure, followed by around sixty executives from Nicolas Dupont-Aignan's movement to form a collective of "sovereigntist Gaullists" (initially called Demain la France) which wishes to support Marine Le Pen in the next presidential election.
The foundation of French Future is formalized on March 22, 2021, in the presence of Marine Le Pen. The movement defines itself as independent and an ally of the National Rally and wishes to stand alongside it in the regional and departmental elections in June. It obtained 14 regional advisers in eight regions.
