Jean-Louis Thiériot (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃lui tjeʁjo]; born 26 June 1969) is a French politician and essayist who has represented the 3rd constituency of the Seine-et-Marne department in the National Assembly since 2018.[1] A lawyer by occupation, he is a member of The Republicans (LR).
Thiériot previously served as Mayor of Beauvoir (2008–2018) and President of the Departmental Council of Seine-et-Marne (2018), in which he has represented the canton of Nangis since 2015. In the National Assembly, he sits on the National Defence and Armed Forces Committee.
Between September and December 2024, Thiériot briefly served as Minister of Veterans Affairs in the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier.[2]
A graduate of Sciences Po in Paris, Thiériot holds a post-graduate degree (diplôme d'études approfondies, DEA) in history and a post-graduate diploma (diplôme d'études supérieures spécialisées, DESS) in European business law. He has been described as economically liberal; he has notably written a biography of Margaret Thatcher (2007), which won the Grand Prix de la biographie politique, as well as a book about French Resistance leader and later President Charles de Gaulle: De Gaulle, le dernier réformateur (2018).
A winner of the Prix Robert-Christophe de l'Association des écrivains combattants for his 2009 book on Claus von Stauffenberg, which illustrates his interest in Germany and German-speaking skills, he also wrote France-Allemagne, l'heure de vérité (2011) with Bernard de Montferrand, a former French Ambassador in Berlin (2007–2011). As a member of the National Assembly, Thiériot sits as a member of the Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly.[3]
Thiériot regularly compares the political systems on both sides of the Rhine in articles published by Le Figaro. Among others, he published "L'efficacité de l'Allemagne contre le virus contredit l'argument du manque de moyens" amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
