Sacha Houlié (born 8 October 1988) is a French lawyer[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 Vienne.[2]
Political career
Having previously been active for the Socialist Party, Houlié joined LREM in 2015.[3] Together with three friends, including Pierre Person, he founded "Jeunes avec Macron" (Young People for Macron) in June 2015.[4]
In parliament, Houlié serves as member of the Committee on Legal Affairs.[5] In this capacity, he was his parliamentary group's rapporteur on 2019 legislation to strengthen the powers of elected municipal officials, particularly in small municipalities.[6] From 2017 until 2018, he was also one of the National Assembly's six vice-presidents, under the leadership of president François de Rugy.[7] Within his parliamentary group, he is considered a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron.[8]
In mid-2019, French farmers vandalized Houlié's office in Poitiers, in an effort to protest against his support for the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union.[9]
Other activities
- École nationale d'administration (ENA), Member of the Board of Directors[10][11]
Political positions
Houlié is considered an advocate of an open and "inclusive" secularism. In early 2018, he was one of several LREM member who joined an informal parliamentary working group on Islam set up by Florent Boudié in order to contribute to the government's bill aimed at better organising and supervising the financing of the Muslim faith in France.[12]
In May 2018, Houlié co-sponsored an initiative in favour of legalizing assisted reproductive technology (ART) for all women (singles, heterosexual couples or lesbian couples).[13]
Amid efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in France, Houlié opposed the government's propopsal for a state-supported “StopCovid” contact-tracing app project, arguing it could amount to "undemocratic state surveillance."[14] Also in 2020, he went against his parliamentary group's majority and abstained from an important vote on a much discussed security bill drafted by his colleagues Alice Thourot and Jean-Michel Fauvergue that helps, among other measures, curtail the filming of police forces.[15][16]
