Political career

In parliament, Moreau served 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 chaired the French-Saudi Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]

He was defeated at the 2022 election by Catherine Couturier of La France Insoumise.[5]

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.[6] 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 of CETA.[7]

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.[8]
