The Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) is a political party in Lebanon founded in 2005 by Michel Aoun, a retired general and former prime minister of Lebanon. The FPM describes itself as a Christian democratic party and has a strong following within the Maronite Christian community in Lebanon. The party's political platform includes economic reform, social justice, and national sovereignty.
The FPM has been involved in Lebanese politics since its founding and has been a member of several government coalitions. The party took part in the 2009 parliamentary elections and won 27 out of 128 seats. In the 2018 elections, the FPM won 29 seats, making it the largest Christian bloc in the parliament.
The FPM has been known for its criticism of the traditional political elite in Lebanon, which it sees as corrupt and elitist. The party's leader, Michel Aoun, has been a vocal advocate for reform and has called for an end to sectarianism in Lebanese politics. The party also takes a strong stance on Lebanon's relationships with neighboring countries, particularly Syria and Israel.
In recent years, the FPM has been embroiled in controversy over allegations of corruption and mismanagement. Several high-profile members have been accused of embezzlement and other crimes. Despite these challenges, the party remains an important player in Lebanese politics and has a dedicated following among many Lebanese Christians.
