Rassemblement bleu Marine

The Marine Blue Gathering (French: Rassemblement bleu Marine, RBM) is a French political coalition of right-wing and far-right political parties created by Marine Le Pen in 2012 before the legislative elections. It brings together the National Front, the party Sovereignty, Independence and Liberties (SIEL) of Karim Ouchikh, the Republican Entente, the Republican Gathering, and a few other small political parties and independent politicians. Its name is a play on words, meaning both Marine Blue Gathering (blue being the color of right-winged parties), and Navy Blue (Bleu Marine) Rally, navy blue being the color of the most conservative parties.
