Editing Union for a Popular Movement (section)

==Factions==
The UMP's original statutes in 2002 allowed for the organisation of formal factions or movements within the party, to represent the various political families of which it was made up. However, fearing leadership rivalries and divisions, Juppé, Chirac and later Sarkozy 'postponed' the creation of such organised movements indefinitely. Nevertheless, prior to the organisations of formal "movements" in November 2012, there existed informal groupings of like-minded members, either through associations, political clubs, associated political parties or even informal factions.

[[Jean-François Copé]] allowed for the organisation of formal movements within the party following the November 2012 congress. According to the party's statutes, motions backed by at least 10 parliamentarians from 10 departmental federations and which obtain at least 10% support from members at a congress are recognised as movements. They are granted financial autonomy by way of a fixed grant and additional funding in proportion to the votes they obtained; but the sum of funds transferred by the party to its movements can be no larger than 30% of the annual public subsidies the UMP receives from the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.u-m-p-44.org/IMG/pdf/statuts_nationaux-2.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=15 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120418045144/http://www.u-m-p-44.org/IMG/pdf/statuts_nationaux-2.pdf |archive-date=18 April 2012 }} Articles 15 à 18 des statuts de l'UMP</ref>
