Loïc Dombreval (born 16 April 1966) is a French veterinarian and politician of La République En Marche! (LREM) who served a single term (2017-2022) in the French National Assembly, representing the 2nd constituency of the department of Alpes-Maritimes.[1]
Early career
[edit]Dombreval worked as a veterinarian from 1990 until 1995 before taking on the position of communications director at Virbac's French subsidiary in 1995. From 1999 to 2000, he was a strategy consultant at Capgemini.
Political career
[edit]Having previously been an active member of the Democratic Movement (MoDem), Dombreval joined LREM in 2017.[2]
In parliament, Dombreval served on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. In this capacity, he was the parliament's rapporteur on animal welfare and rights in France,[3][4] including a 2021 ban on the use of wild animals in live circus shows.[5]
In addition to his committee assignments, Dombreval was a member of the French-Namibian Parliamentary Friendship Group.[6]
In the 2022 elections Dombreval lost in the second round to Lionel Tivoli of National Rally.
Political positions
[edit]In July 2019, Dombreval decided not to align with his parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[7]
In 2021, Dombreval led efforts to ban the practice of marmot hunting in France.[8]
