Jean-Michel Fauvergue (French pronunciation: [ʒamiʃɛl fovɛʁɡ]; born 31 January 1957) is a French former police commander and politician who served in the National Assembly from 2017 to 2022, representing the 8th constituency of the Seine-et-Marne department.[1][2] He is a member of Renaissance (RE, formerly La République En Marche!) which he joined in 2017.

Early career

[edit]

Before entering politics, Fauvergue was the commander of the RAID special police forces unit (2013–2017) which carried out the raids in response to the January and November 2015 Paris attacks.[3]

Political career

[edit]

As a parliamentarian, Fauvergue served on the Committee on Legal Affairs. Together with Alice Thourot, he co-authored a 2018 report with more than 70 recommendations on how to support security forces and the Municipal Police in France.[4] In 2020, he served as co-capporteur (alongside Thourot) on a law proposed by Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin to criminalize the dissemination of images showing law enforcement officers with the intention of causing harm to them.[5]

Political positions

In July 2019, Fauvergue voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[6]
