The Republican Centre (Centre républicain, CR) was a former French political party, formed as a splinter group from the Radical Party's pro-French Algeria faction.
The Republican Centre opposed the policies of Pierre Mendès France.
André Morice was particularly vocal in favor of French Algeria and displayed strong anti-Gaullist sentiments.
During the Radical Party's congress in Lyon in October 1956, twelve Radical deputies (including Henri Queuille, André Morice, and Émile Hugues) left the party after being outvoted on three key issues: the reinstatement of Edgar Faure following his exclusion from the Radical Party, the establishment of a collegial leadership structure (ending Pierre Mendès France's vice-presidency), and the Algerian question.
[1] From 1973, the Republican Centre became part of the Reformist Movement before rejoining the Valoisian Radical Party in May 1977.
