The Rurality Movement (French: Le Mouvement de la ruralité, LMR), formerly Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Traditions (French: Chasse, pêche, nature et traditions; French pronunciation: [ʃas, pɛʃ, natyʁ e tʁadiˈsjɔ̃]; CPNT, French pronunciation: [se.pe.ɛnˈte]) is an agrarianistpolitical party in France that aims to defend the traditional values of rural France. Its leader is Eddie Puyjalon. The party states it is neither right nor left but represents rural people on the whole in their diversity.
Formed in 1985, it contested both the European elections of 1989 and 1994 without success. In 1999, it obtained six seats, led by Jean Saint-Josse who was at the top of the list. It lost all representation at the following election to the European Parliament in 2004, when it obtained less than the minimum 3% of votes that allow a party to be reimbursed for campaign expenses. Consequently, it faced a deficit of 300,000 euros. At one stage, it had 32 regional councillors, but lost all of them in that same year. After these problems, most members of the CPNT have joined the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) or the Movement for France, but the party is still in existence, and nominated Frédéric Nihous, a hunter from Northern France, as a candidate in the Presidential election of 2007. Nihous won 1.15% of votes only, much lower than Jean Saint-Josse in 2002.
CPNT is strong in certain rural areas of France with an important community of hunters. It is strong in the Somme River estuary to the west of Abbeville, in the Manche department and the Gironde department. In the 1999 European election, CPNT won 25% of the vote in the Somme,[4] 15.4% in the Manche, 15.2% in the Landes department and 11.9% in Gironde. In stark contrast, the party barely won 1% of the vote that year in the Alsatian department of Bas-Rhin[5] and did poorly in the east of France, much more industrialized and much less agrarian.
CPNT has three general councillors: one in the Somme, one in Gironde and one in the Hérault department.
