Anne-Christine Lang (born 10 August 1961) is a French politician of La République En Marche! (LREM) who has been serving as a member of the French National Assembly since 2014, representing the department of Paris.[1]
Political career
In parliament, Lang serves as member of the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education.[2] In this capacity, she was – alongside Fannette Charvier – her parliamentary group's rapporteur on l'école de la confiance, legislation introduced by Minister of Education Jean-Michel Blanquer to restructure the French education system from nursery through to middle school.[3]
Political positions
In July 2019, Lang decided not to align with her 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.[4]
For the 2020 Paris election, Lang went against the party line and endorsed Cédric Villani as a candidate for mayor.[5]
In September 2020, she initiated a walkout of assembly members in protest of a woman in a hijab addressing a commission. Lang said that as a feminist and republican she could not accept the "mark of submission".[6]
