Political party La République En Marche!

Stéphane Trompille (born 1 December 1982) is a French politician of La République En Marche! (LREM) who served as a member of the French National Assembly from 2017 to 2022,[1] representing the department of Ain.[2]

Political career

Having previously been an active member of the Socialist Party, Trompille joined LREM in 2017.[3]

In parliament, Trompille served as member of the Committee on National Defense and the Armed Forces.[4] In this capacity, he co-authored (with Olivier Becht) a parliamentary report on space defence in 2019, calling on the Ministry of the Armies to upgrade its capabilities given the proliferation of competitors and potential enemies.[5] In late 2019, he 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 defense industry base” and urged government intervention.[6][7]

In addition to his committee assignments, Trompille was part of the Assembly’s delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.[8]

Trompille lost his seat in the first round of the 2022 French legislative election.[9]

Political positions

In July 2019, Trompille voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[10]

Along with four other LREM members – Cécile Rilhac, Jean-Michel Mis, Coralie Dubost, and Eric Bothorel –, Trompille disassociated himself from their colleague Aurore Bergé when the latter announced her intention in October 2019 to vote for a Republican draft law banning the wearing of the hijab by women accompanying groups of students on school outings.[11]
