Biography
Born Solveig Mauborgne[3][4] Sereine Mauborgne ran unsuccessfully in the 1998 cantonal elections in Le Mans. She was a municipal councilor in Coulaines, in the Sarthe department, elected on a diverse left-wing/environmentalist ticket, from 2001 to 2003.
In the 2014 municipal elections, she was second on a multi-party left-wing list in Cogolin, in the Var department.
In the 2017 legislative elections, she was nominated by Renaissance (French political party) en Marche (LREM) in the 4th constituency of Var,[5] with Mikaël Vermès as her deputy. She was elected deputy on June 18, 2017, in the second round, with 54.6% of the vote. She is the first woman to be elected deputy in this constituency. A member of the National Defense and Armed Forces Committee, she was appointed budget rapporteur for the Army in 2019.[6][7] She is also the chair of the French delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
In January 2020, during the debate in the National Assembly on extending leave from 5 to 12 days in the event of the death of a child, Sereine Mauborgne opposed the measure, proposing instead to allow people to donate their RTT days and stating: “When you buy generosity at a low price on the backs of companies, it's a bit too easy.” In response, President Emmanuel Macron called for a little humanity from the deputies of his majority.[8] Mauborgne later regretted not having been “clear enough” and felt that “we couldn't make amendments that said ‘the state must pay’.[9]
Running for re-election in the 2022 legislative elections, she was defeated in the second round with 46.35% of the vote by Philippe Lottiaux (RN). [10]
