Génération.s

Génération·s () sometimes rendered Génération-s or Génération·s, is a French political party created on 1 July 2017 by Benoît Hamon who, according to its founder, aims to "refound and gather the left" in France. It was formerly named Mouvement du 1er Juillet (1 July Movement), and has also been known by the short name M1717. Its foundation followed the sharp decline of the Socialist Party in the 2017 presidential election, in which Hamon was the Socialist nominee, and the legislative elections, in which he lost his seat as deputy. The movement presents itself as an initiative to assemble the forces of the left in France.

At the time of its founding, he announced his goal to unite the left before the 2019 European Parliament elections and the municipal elections in 2020, promoting an "Estates General of all the left to make a common house for the municipal elections of 2020". The party also aims to popularize ideas developed by Hamon during his presidential campaign that were abandoned by the party during the legislative campaign, such as universal basic income.
