Les Républicains (The Republicans, LR) is a liberal-conservative
political party in France. The party was formed in 2015 as the
refoundation of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), which had been established in 2002 under the
leadership of the then-president of France, Jacques Chirac.
Président Sarkozy wanted to change the name of the party to showcase
the reunification of the disparate political views, from social
Gaullism to the right line, into one political family.

Examples of French flags defaced with the Cross of Lorraine in Les Républicains meetings - Images by Olivier Touzeau, 11 March 2025
In meetings, the French tricolore is the main flag observed. Sometimes tricolores with the gaullist emblem of Free France, the Cross of Lorraine (of various sizes and colours, blue or red) can be observed. No flag with the party logo observed.
Nota: a similar flag with a black cross of Lorraine was observed in 2012 in use by young Gaullists of UMP.
