France Awakens (French: Le Réveil de la France; LRF) is a French political party, founded in June 2015 by two young engineers Nicolas and Sébastien Taupin.

Creation

The France Awakens Party takes the legal form of a 1901 law association. Its creation was published in the Official Journal of the French Republic on June 27, 2015.

The party is officially recognized by the French National Commission of Campaign Accounts and Political Financing and entitled to receive tax-deductible donations within the limits set by French laws.

The Founders

Twin brothers, Nicolas and Sébastien Taupin, hold the respective positions of president and co-president of the LRF party. Being only 22 years old, they are the youngest presidents of a nationwide political party of the Fifth Republic.

Nicolas Taupin is an engineering student at Ecole Centrale de Nantes and has successively worked for the National Society of French Railways, the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (Ifremer), and since February 2015 has worked on the industrial development of renewable marine energy in France and abroad.

Sébastien Taupin is an engineering student at Chimie ParisTech, and since September 2015 has been studying at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. In the summer of 2014 Sébastien conducted research at the European Space Agency on cosmic dust analysis of the Cassini-Huygens Probe, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a joint research mission involving the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission and the French research organization Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.

The brothers are also co-founders of the start-up T&T Editions, which publishes mobile applications on Google Play.

A philosophical heritage from the Age of Enlightenment

As reported in Le Parisien [1] and Le Courrier des Yvelines,[2] the two young brothers launched their communication campaign early in September, 2015 to gain notoriety throughout France. Apart from any left-right ideology, party president Nicolas Taupin considers the political spectrum, from the Socialist Party to The Republicans, "outdated"[3] and affirms the independence of the LRF party, which he considers to be the only guarantee of its objectivity.

With political beliefs based on the principles of cartesianism and rationalism, the LRF favors a "bright, just, reformed and innovative Republic,"[4] heir to the Enlightenment Philosophy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The LRF viewpoint replaces reason and justice as the core of their political beliefs, quoting philosophers such as Voltaire and Montesquieu.

A political startup

In October 2015, Le Figaro praised the "originality" of the brother Taupin's concepts. They espouse a company-wide lean thinking approach imported from Japan and deployed in the majority of international industrial organizations. The concept aims to reduce waste and improve productivity by involving stakeholders in a global process of improving efficiency. The objective of lean management is to work together at all hierarchical levels to correct managerial deficiencies.

The LRF bases its political program on a collaborative democracy, appealing to France's shared common values. pragmatism and simplicity also guide its ideas, as categorized by the brothers' 15 themes. Innovation is to be emphasized by the LRF to encourage scientific and technological progress.

A rising notoriety

Following the Figaro article entitled "22 years-old twins launched a new party France awakens ',[5] the party registered a peak audience with nearly 9,000 visitors in two days following the publication of the article.
