==History==
<!--Website (https://web.archive.org/web/20191118115101/http://www.rassemblement-enjeux.org/notre-mouvement/) states party was founded in 2008 by a merger of Values and Issues and Rally for Monaco. Not sure if this was just a name change-- some information may be missing.-->
The party was established as the '''National and Democratic Union''' ({{Lang|fr|Union Nationale et Démocratique}}) in 1962 by a merger of the [[National Union of Independents (Monaco)|National Union of Independents]] and the [[National Democratic Entente]],<ref name=VM>Vincent E McHale (1983) ''Political parties of Europe'', Greenwood Press, p640 {{ISBN|0-313-23804-9}}</ref> who between them held all 18 seats in the [[National Council (Monaco)|National Council]].<ref>McHale, p641</ref> The new party won 17 of the 18 seats in the [[Monegasque general election, 1963|1963 elections]], and all 18 seats in the [[Monegasque general election, 1968|1968 elections]]. It was reduced to 16 seats in [[Monegasque general election, 1973|1973]] as two opposition parties won seats, but won every seat again in the [[Monegasque general election, 1978|1978]], [[Monegasque general election, 1983|1983]] and [[Monegasque general election, 1988|1988 elections]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=1988-01-24 |title=MONACO Date des élections: 24 janvier 1988 |url=http://archive.ipu.org/parline-f/reports/arc/MONACO_1988_F.PDF |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=Ipu.org}}</ref>

In the [[Monegasque general election, 1993|1993 elections]] it lost three seats, but retained a large majority. It won all 18 seats again in [[Monegasque general election, 1998|1998]], but the [[Monegasque general election, 2003|2003 elections]] saw it win just three seats as it was defeated by the [[Union Monegasque|Union for Monaco]] alliance. It changed its name to Rally & Issues prior to the 2008 elections, and incorporated the Rally for Monaco as well as Values and Issues.

By 2013, the party had 500 members. That year, [[Jean-Charles Allavena]] replaced [[Laurent Nouvion]] as the leader of the party.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Allavena |first=Jean-Charles |last2=Nouvion |first2=Laurent |date=2013-05-10 |title="Rassemblement & Enjeux" en ordre de marche |url=https://www.monacomatin.mc/faits-divers/rassemblement-enjeux-en-ordre-de-marche-361487 |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=Monaco-Matin |language=fr}}</ref>
