In December 2017, the PRG merged with the Radical Party to form the Radical Movement. Rozière and Stéphane Saint-André spoke in opposition to the merger, and instead chose to leave the PRG and form a new party, Les Radicaux de gauche (LRDG, the "Left Radicals").[5] Before the 2019 European Parliament election, LRDG at first found an agreement for a common candidacy with PS and Place Publique. However, shortly after the PRG cancelled the merger in March 2019, LRDG dropped from the candidate lists and Rozière did not stand for reelection, citing PRG influence on PS for the failure of the common candidacy.[6]

In the Socialist Party's primaries, Rozière endorsed Sylvia Pinel as the party's candidate in the 2017 French presidential election.
