Marie Guévenoux

Marie Guévenoux (French pronunciation: [maʁi ɡevənu]; born 2 November 1976) is a French politician who has served as Minister Delegate for the Overseas in the government of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal since February 2024. A member of Renaissance (RE, formerly La République En Marche!), she previously was a deputy in the National Assembly from 2017 to 2024, representing the Essonne department.

Political career

In The Republicans' primaries ahead of the 2017 presidential election, Guévenoux was part of candidate Alain Juppé's campaign staff. When François Fillon was chosen as the party's candidate, she became his campaign team's administrative and financial director. Amid the Fillon affair, however, she resigned from that position and left the Republicans' campaign.

In the 2017 French legislative election, Guévenoux joined the LREM campaign and became a member of the National Assembly. In parliament, she served on the Committee on Legal Affairs. She was also a secretary of the Bureau of the National Assembly of the 15th legislature of the French Fifth Republic. In early 2018, she was one of several LREM members 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. Later that year, she co-chaired (with Éric Bothorel) a group of some twenty parliamentarians involved in organizing a nation-wide consultation process in response to the Yellow vests movement.

In addition to her parliamentary work, Guévenoux was a member of the Commission consultative du secret de la défense nationale (CCSDN), an independent authority in charge of declassification of documents.

From November 2017 on, Guévenoux was part of LREM's 20-member executive board under the leadership of the party's chairman Christophe Castaner.

Political positions

In July 2019, Guévenoux voted in favour of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.
