Jean-Baptiste Moreau (born 14 February 1977) is a French cattle farmer[1] and politician of La République En Marche! (LREM) who has been serving as a member of the French National Assembly since the 2017 elections, representing the department of Creuse.[2]
Political career
In parliament, Moreau serves as a spokesperson for the LREM parliamentary group.[3] He is a member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and the Committee on European Affairs. In addition to his committee assignments, he chairs the French-Saudi Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]
Political positions
In July 2019, Moreau voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[5] In mid-2019, French anti-government protesters put up a large poster of Moreau with the word “Wanted” on it outside a local government building in Creuse, in an effort to protest against his support CETA.[6]
In September 2020, Moreau publicly endorsed Aurore Bergé in an internal vote to succeed Gilles Le Gendre as chair of the LREM parliamentary group; however, the role went to Christophe Castaner.[7]
