Monica Michel (born 16 April 1955) is a French politician of La République En Marche! (LREM)[1] who served as the member of the National Assembly from 2017 to 2022, representing the 16th district of Bouches-du-Rhône.[2][3]
Early life and career
[edit]Born in the Seychelles in 1955, Michel lived on Réunion, in Paris and Marseille before settling in Arles. In the early 2000s, she began working for Marseille-Fos Port where she held the position of commercial director for 18 years.
Political career
[edit]Michel joined LREM in 2017.
In parliament, Michel served on the Defence Committee. In addition to her committee assignments, she was a member of the French-Australian Parliamentary Friendship Group and the French-Indian Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]
In late 2019, Michel was one of 17 members of the committee who co-signed a letter to Prime Minister Édouard Philippe in which they warned that the 365 million euro ($406 million) sale of aerospace firm Groupe Latécoère to U.S. fund Searchlight Capital raised “questions about the preservation of know-how and France’s defence industry base” and urged government intervention.[5][6]
In 2020, Michel joined En commun (EC), a group within LREM led by Barbara Pompili.[7]
