Yaël Braun-Pivet (born 7 December 1970) is a French lawyer[1] and politician of La République En Marche! (LREM) who has served as President of the French National Assembly since 28 June 2022. She is both the first woman and practicing Jew to hold this position.[2][3] She was previously Minister of the Overseas in the government of Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne in 2022.[4] Braun-Pivet is currently serving as a member of the French National Assembly since 2017, representing the department of Yvelines.[5]

Political career

Before entering politics, Braun-Pivet volunteered with Restaurants du Cœur.[6]

In parliament, Braun-Pivet chaired the Law Committee.[7] As part of her work on the committee, she led the work on a 2017 law regulating conflict of interest among elected officials, which had been initiated as a consequence of the Fillon affair.[8] From July 2018, she also chaired a parliamentary inquiry into the Benalla affair.[9]

In September 2018, after François de Rugy's appointment to the government, Braun-Pivet announced her candidacy for the presidency of the National Assembly; she eventually withdrew and instead endorsed Richard Ferrand.[10]

In February 2021, Braun-Pivet received the support of the entire National Assembly after being targeted by an email with anti-Semitic insults and threats; shortly after, the Paris prosecutor's office opened an investigation.[11]

Political positions

In July 2019, Braun-Pivet voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union's Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[12]

In 2021, Braun-Pivet proposed to create a new ad-hoc body to better supervise the government's decision-making process on the COVID-19 pandemic in France.[13]

Also in 2021, Braun-Pivet voted against LREM's party line and instead supported draft legislation proposed by the Liberties and Territories group aimed at legalizing assisted suicide.[14]

Personal life

Braun-Pivet is married and has five children.[15] Braun-Pivet is Jewish and also attended a Jewish school in Strasbourg.[16] Her grandfathers in arrived in France in the 1930s in order to flee anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe.[3][16] One of her grandfathers, who arrived in France from Poland, received a French Resistance Medal after World War II.[3]
