The Union for a Popular Movement is France's largest conservative political party. It was initially aligned with the policies of Jacques Chirac, but has increasingly differed with him, especially when it officially expressed opposition to Turkey's membership in the European Union after Chirac supported it. It nominated Nicolas Sarkozy (who is also the president of the party) for President in 2007. This nomination was talked about, because of the absence of other opponent.
