Radicaux indépendants
In 1936, Pierre-Étienne Flandin attempted to rally the group to the Democratic Alliance by replacing the AD's group, the Left Republicans, by the Alliance of Left Republicans and Independent Radicals ("Alliance des républicains de gauche et des radicaux indépendants"). This failed however, since the Radical Left group became the Democratic and Independent Radical Left ("Gauche démocratique et radicale indépendante"), merging with the smaller Left Independents group (another centrist group).
