The Mouvement Réformateur (MR) is a Belgian French-speaking liberal party, favoring a united Belgium. The party is part of the current Federal Government coalition, it was also part of the governing coalition in the Walloon Region and in the Brussels-Capital Region until the 2004 regional elections. The MR in 2003 participated for the first time in a general election under that name and made small gains in that election. It is a tightly knit alliance between three liberal parties: the liberal PRL, the regionalist FDF and the progressive Christian Democratic MCC. The MR is member of Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party.
The ideology of the MR is a mix of free-market liberalism, and recently of a more social liberalism.
