Jean-François Cesarini (30 September 1970 – 29 March 2020) was a French politician who represented the 1st constituency of the Vaucluse department in the National Assembly from 2017 until his death in 2020.[1][2] He was a member of La République En Marche! (LREM).
Political career
[edit]Having previously been an active member of the Socialist Party, Cesarini joined LREM in 2017.[3]
In parliament, Cesarini served on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. In addition to his committee assignments, he was a member of the study group on Taiwan and of the French delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).[4]
Political positions
[edit]In early 2019, together with around twenty other LREM members, Cesarini proposed to re-establish a solidarity tax on wealth, which had been abolished the previous year.[5]
In July 2019, Cesarini voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[6]
In September 2019, together with other members of the left-wing of the LREM group, Cesarini called for migrants to be distributed in rural areas with labour shortages. In November 2019, he co-signed a position paper with ten other LREM members to oppose the government's planned measures on the provision of health services to immigrants.[7]
