Renewal Party (CPQOC)

The Renewal Party (French: Parti du renouveau), whose members are often referred to as the Renouvistes, is a right-wing national conservative party in Constantinople. Founded in 2014, the party has achieved success in the country politics as it became the largest party in Parliament in the 2019 election when all right-wing voters coalesced around the PR. During the the COVID-19 pandemic the party adopted numerous anti-lockdown and vaccine hesitant positions, leading to its growing isolation from the political mainstream.

Shifts in ideology
The Renewal Party was formed in 2014 by members of smaller right-wing populist and national-conservative parties under the influence of billionaire Moustapha Akkoyun, taking on the mantle of the main far-right political organization in the country. The party would move towards the right-wing in the run up to the 2015 election by adopting a policy of economic liberalism. During the 2015 European migrant crisis it adopted staunchly anti-refugee rhetoric. The anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination of the party's informal leader, Moustapha Akkoyun, in the period of the COVID-19 drove away its right-wing members as the party became firmly established on the far-right. The party advocates for the overturning of same-sex marriage and adoption, which has been legal in the country since 2017.

On the international scene, the Renewal Party has been supportive of some policies of Orban's Hungary, Erdogan's Turkey and Law and Justice's Poland, all while criticizing their anti-secularist positions. The party is opposed to NATO and is considered as being fairly pro-Russia, arguing for continuing Constantinople's long-standing economic ties with Russia even after the latter's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.

As of January 2023, the anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown positions of the party provoked most of its members into leaving to the New Right). After the upcoming election, the party is expected to dissolve or become a fringe party.
