Liberties, Independents, Overseas and Territories (French: Libertés, indépendants, outre-mer & territoires, LIOT), formerly Liberties & Territories (French: Libertés & territoires, LT),[a] is a catch-all parliamentary group in the French National Assembly. It was formed on 17 October 2018, with deputies from centre-left and centre-right parties, as well as Corsican nationalist parties.[1][2]
History
The group was formed on 17 October 2018, led by co-presidents Bertrand Pancher from Meuse and Philippe Vigier from Eure-et-Loir. Prior negotiations between Corsican nationalist deputies, Olivier Falorni and François Pupponi had failed at the beginning of the 15th legislature.
At its founding, the group defined itself as in the "minority", refusing to register as either being in the majority or in opposition to the government.[2] This led to a disagreement over their placement in the National Assembly. The group's deputies demanded to be placed together in the centre of the hemicycle, which was declined. They protested by boycotting the photograph of the Assembly bringing together all the deputies.[3] The group ultimately joined the opposition on 30 July 2020.
