History

The Agir Ensemble group was created less than a week after the creation of another parliamentary group, Ecology Democracy Solidarity (EDS).[2] Agir Ensemble became the tenth parliamentary group in the National Assembly, a record high number in the French Fifth Republic.[2]

The group came to political effect on 20 April 2020, when there was a vote concerning the ending of the Covid-19 Lockdown: Agir Ensemble members voted in favour of the motion, whilst others parliamentarians abstained or voted against the motion.[3]
