Formation

The party was established in August 2020 by former Tapura Huiraatira MPs Nicole Sanquer, Nuihau Laurey, Bernard Natua, Teura Tarahu-Atuahiva, and Félix Tokoragi.[3] To meet the six-MP minimum to form a group, Tahoera'a Huiraatira MP Vaitea Le Gayic was "loaned" to the party by Tahoera'a, joining it with the permission of Gaston Flosse.[3] The party was formally registered in September 2020.[4] The group lost its parliamentary recognition in January 2021 after Le Gayic resigned and rejoined Tahoera'a,[5][6] leaving its members as independents.

In October 2021, the three remaining MPs, Sanquer, Laurey and Tokoragi, announced that the party would relaunch in January 2022 and contest the 2022 French legislative election and 2023 territorial elections.[2][7][8] The party officially launched on 28 March 2022 and endorsed Marine Le Pen in the 2022 French presidential election.[9]
