Rurality Movement

The Rurality Movement (French: Le Mouvement de la ruralité [lə muvmɑ̃ d(ə) la ʁyʁalite]; LMR [ɛl ɛm ɛʁ]), formerly Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Traditions (French: Chasse, pêche, nature et traditions [ʃas pɛʃ natyʁ e tʁadisjɔ̃]; CPNT [se pe ɛn te]) is an agrarianist political party in France that aims to defend the traditional values of rural France.

It lost all representation at the following election to the European Parliament in 2004, when it obtained less than the minimum 3% of votes that allow a party to be reimbursed for campaign expenses.

[2] After the standing down of Frédéric Nihous in March 2016, Eddie Puyjalon assumed the leadership of the party.

In the 1999 European election, CPNT won 25% of the vote in the Somme,[4] 15.4% in the Manche, 15.2% in the Landes department and 11.9% in Gironde.

In stark contrast, the party barely won 1% of the vote that year in the Alsatian department of Bas-Rhin[5] and did poorly in the east of France, much more industrialized and much less agrarian.
