Agir, officially Agir, la droite constructive ([a.ʒiʁ]; lit. Act, the Constructive Right), is a political party in France, established on 26 November 2017.[3] The majority of its founding members were previously associated with the Constructive faction within the centre-right Republicans. Styling itself as a "liberal, social, European, humanist and reformist"[4] party, Agir was founded by a group of 19 established politicians as an alternative to the Republicans.
Agir Members of Parliament (MPs) are members of the Agir ensemble parliamentary group in the National Assembly. Fabienne Keller is currently the party's only Member of the European Parliament (MEP).

History
Formation
Following the defeat of Les Républicains candidate François Fillon in the first round of the 2017 French presidential election and the ascension of Laurent Wauquiez, perceived as coming from the right wing of Les Républicains, to the leadership of the party, 19 politicians from LR and the center-right Union of Democrats and Independents formed the group.[5]
Coalition
Agir is part of the Ensemble Citoyens coalition, which supports President Emmanuel Macron for the 2022 French presidential election.[6]
Ideology
Agir is identified as part of centre-right politics, defining itself as pro-European, liberal and humanist, and rejecting the "identity, authoritarian, eurosceptic and ultra-conservative" right.[7]
