Delphine Bagarry (born 9 January 1970) is a French emergency physician[1] and politician elected to the French National Assembly on 18 June 2017, representing the department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.[2]

Political career[]

Having previously been affiliated with the Socialist Party, Bagarry joined LREM in 2016.[3]

In parliament, Bagarry serves on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. In addition to her committee assignments, she is part of the French-Vanuatu Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]

In March 2020, Bagarry left LREM after Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced he would push through a controversial pensions bill by executive decree.[5][6] In May 2020, she was one of the 17 initial members of the Ecology Democracy Solidarity group.

Political positions[]

In 2018, Bagarry joined other co-signatories around Sébastien Nadot in officially filing a request for a commission of inquiry into the legality of French weapons sales to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, days before an official visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Paris.[7] In 2019, she was one of five members of the LREM parliamentary group who joined a cross-party initiative to legalize the distribution and use of cannabis.[8][9]

By June, Bagarry and five other ex-LREM deputies announced the establishment of #Nous Demain, a "humanist, ecologist and feminist" political movement.[10]
