Emmanuel Macron, the 25th president of France, positions himself as a liberal and a centrist. When he launched his party En Marche in April 2016, he said that it was "neither right nor left". By March 2017, Macron stated that he and his party were now "both right and left". Prior to the establishiment of En Marche, some observers described him as a social liberal, while others called him a social democrat, having been a member of the Socialist Party.
