The Centre républicain was a right-wing parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies of the French Third Republic from 1932 to 1936. The group was critical of parliamentarism and advocated for plebiscitary democracy and a strong executive.
The Centre républicain was established in 1932 by André Tardieu after his unsuccessful attempt to take control of the Democratic Republican Alliance,[1][2] in order to transform it into a large liberal-conservative party. Positioned firmly on the right, the group dissolved after the 1936 elections when Tardieu failed to retain his seat.
