Biography
A candidate in the 2022 legislative elections in the 2nd constituency of the Territoire de Belfort, he faces Sophie Carnicer, the National Rally candidate known for “making a fool of herself” during a Talk show, in the second round. [3][4] Narrowly elected against Carnicer, he was then the only left-wing deputy from Franche-Comté in the 16th legislature.[5][6]
In 2024, just two years after his election, he was defeated in the second round by his rival Guillaume Bigot (politician) of the National Rally by a few hundred votes.[7]
During this campaign, he was notably targeted by a complaint for “defamation and public insult” after calling his opponent a racist in one of his leaflets.[8]
