The Liaison Committee for the Presidential Majority (French: Comité de liaison de la majorité présidentielle, also called the Committee of the Presidential Majority or Committee of the Majority) was a structure initiated by Nicolas Sarkozy to coordinate the political parties that support his action.
It was officially established by François Fillon on June 30, 2009, and is led by Jean-Claude Gaudin, member of the national executive of the Union for a Popular Movement.
[1][2] On April 9, 2008, following the municipal and cantonal elections of 2008, the President of the Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, announced the creation of a liaison committee to strengthen ties within the majority, intensify the level of work between the components and prepare for future elections.
Without significant business since its inception, the committee became formally structured as a result of the 2009 European elections during which the lists of the presidential majority came first.
According to François Fillon, the committee will also be "a laboratory of ideas, a place of confrontation between different projects that represent the broadest diversity possible in French society."
