The 'Reformist Movement' (, MR) is a
Belgian French-speaking liberal party, favoring a united Belgium. The party is part of the current
Federal Government coalition, it was also part of the governing coalition in the
Walloon Region and in the
Brussels-Capital Region until the
2004 regional elections. As of the
2007 general election, the MR is the largest Francophone political formation in Belgium.
The MR is a tightly knit alliance between three French-speaking liberal parties, the liberal
PRL, the
regionalist FDF and the
progressive Christian Democratic MCC, and the German-speaking liberal party, the
Party for Freedom and Progress.
[1] The label PRL isn't used anymore, the three other parties still use their own names.
The MR is member of
Liberal International and the
European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party.
The ideology of the MR is a mix of free-market
liberalism, and recently of a more social liberalism.
