The '''Martinican Progressive Party''' ({{langx|fr|Parti progressiste martiniquais}}, PPM) is a [[democratic socialist]] political party in [[Martinique]]. It was founded on March 22, 1958 by poet [[Aimé Césaire]] after breaking off from the [[French Communist Party]]. The party favours the [[Autonomism (political doctrine)|autonomy]] of [[Martinique]] within France, unlike the nationalist [[Martinican Independence Movement]] (MIM). The party has one seat in the [[National Assembly (France)|French National Assembly]], currently held by [[Serge Letchimy]], deputy from [[Fort-de-France]] ([[Martinique's 3rd constituency]]).
