DESCRIPTION OF CANDIDATE: 

MR

FRA - Le MR (Mouvement réformateur) est un parti politique belge francophone de centre-droit, issu de la coalition de plusieurs partis. Le 24 mars 2002, le PRL, le PFF, le FDF et le MCC, partis libéraux et de centre-droit, se sont fédérés en une nouvelle formation politique pluraliste, fondée sur les valeurs du libéralisme, de la réforme et du « juste milieu » centriste. Sur le plan de l'échiquier socio-politique, le MR est souvent présenté à droite par distinction des formations politiques qui se revendiquent officiellement de gauche ou du centre. Aux élections législatives du 10 juin 2007, il est devenu le premier parti politique de Belgique francophone avec 31,17 % des voix en Région wallonne et avec 32 % des voix à Bruxelles.

ENG - The Reformist Movement (French: Mouvement Réformateur, MR) is a Belgian French-speaking liberal political party. The party is in coalition as part of the current Van Rompuy I Government, 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 one of the largest Francophone political formation in Belgium.

The MR is a tightly knit alliance between three French-speaking liberal parties, the regionalist Democratic Front of Francophones (FDF) and the progressive Christian-democratic Citizens' Movement for Change (MCC), and the German-speaking liberal party, the Party for Freedom and Progress. 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.

Though the MR's original ideology emphasized classical liberalism and free market economics, it has of late joined the general trend of Belgian liberals to social liberalism under the influence of Dirk Verhofstadt, whose brother Guy Verhofstadt led the MR's Flemish counterpart, the Flemish Liberals and Democrats (VLD). - Has changed the detail your opinion on Mouvement réformateur ? -
