New Deal ({{langx|fr|Nouvelle Donne}}) is a Keynesian liberal and progressive political party in France. It was founded on 18 November 2013 by Pierre Larrouturou. Its stated aims are to renew how democracy is used, and it has social, ecological and economic goals, which could be defined as left-wing.

History

In the wake of the 2012 French presidential election, the "Collectif Roosevelt" was launched to promote 15 propositions to all the candidates, which had been signed into a manifesto by over 100,000 people.{{Cite web|url=http://www.roosevelt2012.fr/|title=This domain was successfully registered for the highest bidder in our weekly auction.|website=www.roosevelt2012.fr|access-date=2020-03-04}} After François Hollande's victory, Pierre Larrouturou and Stéphane Hessel chose to put these ideas to vote within the Parti Socialiste (PS) at the Toulouse meeting, which was to elect the new leader of the party.{{Cite web|url=http://lelab.europe1.fr/la-motion-surprise-de-stephane-hessel-4609|website=Lelab Europe1|title=Le meilleur de l'actualité politique sur le web|language=fr}} However, their motion obtained only 11.78% of the votes, ranking it third.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

Following these events, Pierre Larrouturou announced the creation of the New Deal party, effectively leaving the Socialist Party, on 28 November 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2013/11/28/97001-20131128FILWWW00117-nouvelle-donne-un-nouveau-parti-a-gauche.php|title="Nouvelle Donne", un nouveau parti à gauche »|website=Le Figaro|date=2013-11-28|language=fr}} The party was named after the New Deal,{{cite web|url=http://www.leparisien.fr/politique/larrouturou-l-homme-des-32-heures-cree-son-parti-27-11-2013-3355115.php|title=Larrouturou, l'homme des 32 heures, crée son parti|website=Le Parisien|date=2013-11-27|language=fr}} the political program launched by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s to get the United States out of the Great Depression. New Deal has highlighted that very low economic growth in France has been the norm for a generation, and postulates that the crisis is the result of inequalities of economic redistribution, in terms of wealth and working time. For instance, it proposes the revision of fiscal policies and the division of labour, though reducing working time. Those policies would be sustained by Keynesian policies, based on ecological needs.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

The party wants to unite citizens who have not previously been involved in politics, supporters of the Left Front, the Europe Ecology – The Greens, the Socialist Party (PS), The MoDem, people from social Gaullism, CEOs, as well as contingent workers, and French celebrities.{{cite news|url=http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2013/11/28/pierre-larrouturou-l-inventeur-de-la-semaine-de-4-jours-lance-son-parti_3521481_823448.html|title=L'économiste socialiste Pierre Larrouturou lance son parti|website=Le Monde|date=2013-11-28|language=fr}}

Political position

New Deal is located on the left-wing of the political spectrum, in the context of French politics, but it is sometimes described as the centre-left.{{Cite web|url=https://europeelects.eu/france/|title = France}} The party values political, conscientious, speech, and individual freedom, and supports social justice and environmentalism.

New Deal is also a socially liberal party.{{cite book|editor=James L. Newell |title=Europe and the Left: Resisting the Populist Tide |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g6YCEAAAQBAJ&dq=France+left-wing+liberal+Nouvelle+Donne&pg=PA154 |date=2020 |page=154 |publisher=Springer Nature|isbn=9783030545413 }} While in French politics social liberalism is generally classified as centrist, New Deal is classified as more left-leaning than the Socialist Party, a centre-left party with a tendency towards social democracy. The party can be seen as advocating progressivism.{{cite web|url=https://www.nouvelledonne.fr/nos-valeurs/|title=Notre charte fondatrice|website=nouvelledonne.fr|language=fr}}
